FiringSquad look at the NX6800 single & SLI

The MSI NX6800 is a rare GF6800standard. Unlike most other plain GF6800s, it has 256mb of memory AND SLI capability.

In the review you can see the GF6800 outperforming the GF600GT in all but the HALO tests, and that even SLI'ed GF6600s sometimes have trouble competing with the single card. And even dual NX6800s sometimes have trouble matching the singl GF6800GT.

It's a good option if the price is right, but the price will have to be very low to justify the fact that it finds itself just slightly better than the GF6600GT.

Not bad until the X800XL hits list price.

That MSI 6800 OC's really well so if the X800XL price is crazy it looks like a very good choice. This card will be even better if rivatuner can open up the other pipes.
