Nvidia Launches GeForce Go 6800 Ultra

By Ian Bell February 25, 2005

The NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra mobile GPU delivers 3D performance that is unmatched by any commercially available mobile GPU today. The XPS 2 also delivers superb video quality courtesy of NVIDIA PureVideoâ„¢ technology, the industry’s only embedded video processor for HD multimedia content.

â€œThe GeForce Go 6800 Ultra mobile GPU was designed specifically for hard core enthusiasts,â€ said Rob Csongor, general manager of mobile business at NVIDIA. â€œIt takes a company like Dell to leverage the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra mobile GPU and create such a remarkable product. The GeForce Go 6 mobile GPU series is our most scalable mobile architecture to date, enabling NVIDIA to penetrate every mobile market segment from thin-and-light notebooks to desktop replacements. The ultimate execution of that architecture is the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra mobile GPU in the XPS 2â€”a perfect solution for any mobile user.â€

I tested AMD’s RX 7800 XT against Nvidia’s RTX 4070, and there’s a clear winner

With the release of the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, AMD finally set foot in the mainstream gaming sector with its RDNA 3 lineup. Nvidia, its biggest rival, which also makes some of the best graphics cards, was the first to release competing cards with similar performance -- at least on paper. But are Nvidia's options better than AMD's in this generation?

The RX 7800 XT was, from the get-go, said to be the competitor to Nvidia's RTX 4070, but in reality, these GPUs differ both in price and performance. We've tested the RX 7800 XT and compared it to the RTX 4070, and we now know which of these two GPUs is the one to pick.

Here’s why I’m glad Nvidia might kill its most powerful GPU

A reliable leaker has just revealed that Nvidia might be abandoning the idea of releasing an RTX 4090 Ti. If the project hadn't been canceled, the RTX 4090 Ti would have ended up becoming the best GPU by a mile -- or at least the most powerful. That spot is currently held by Nvidia's own RTX 4090.

But don't worry -- if the report about the cancellation is true, it's not such a bad thing at all. In fact, it might be for the best for pretty much everyone involved. Here's why.

Nvidia’s peace offering isn’t working

Two MSI RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GPUs over a black background.

Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is here, but you wouldn't know it if you didn't follow GPU news closely. It seems that the GPU might just be so far behind some of the best graphics cards that Nvidia isn't advertising it too much. As a result, early benchmarks are scarce.

MSI has released some benchmarks of its own, comparing the 8GB and the 16GB versions of the RTX 4060 Ti. It turns out that the new GPU might actually be slower. Is this why Nvidia didn't even make its own version of this card?
