The Guru of 3D takes a look at the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS 256 MB for AGP



A fairly short time ago NVIDIA released the GeForce 6800 GS onto the market and not without success. This model graphics card is performing close to the GeForce 6800 GT, it's massively better than a GeForce 6600 GT or standard GeForce 6800, yet is offered at a seriously superior price tag.

Some consumers however felt left out, a rather big group of consumers that bought an AGP based PC over the past two years. They are a bit stuck, they really can't upgrade anymore as the world is evolving and moving into the PCI-Express graphics bus based PC. But where there is a gap in the market there's NVIDIA. Luckily for the AGP platform owners who are still happy with their system, but would like to crank up their graphics gaming muscle a little, there is now an AGP version of the GeForce 6800 GS. For roughly 250 USD you can get some really nice brute horsepower in your AGP based system.
