Inno3D GeForce 6800

Eye Candy

All the previous benchmarks were run with no FSAA or Anisotropic Filtering.  Here we maxed these both out so we were running 6x FSAA and 16x AF as we return to Far Cry and UT2004.

Unreal Tournament remained playable with everything maxed.  Far Cry was fine at 1024 but at 1280 and above, the occasionally dip in frame rates made for some frustration.  Let me note that while we haven't played with a 6800GT or 6800Ultra yet, (Brian is working on his X800 Pro review) this is the fastest frame rates we have ever seen out of a VGA card.

Image Quality

Here is where you can always find a argument if you want one.  Start talking image quality and people get hostile and loyal to either ATi or NVidia.  To my eyes, images are clean and balanced or they're not.  Below are screen shots from Doom3 with the FSAA and AF maxed out on each of our GeForce 6800, GeForce 5950 Ultra and Radeon 9800XT cards.  Personally, I can't see a difference.  No cheating here, I'll tell you which shot belongs to which card in the conclusion.
