NVIDIA Launches Release of Geforce 6 Video Card

NVIDIA's Geforce series has been a popular video card for gamers. NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series, the GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800 will be able in retail stores in June. The new video card was designed to lead in 3D performance and realistic effects.

The new video card has been described as: "The NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series is a great leap forward in PC graphics, bringing next-generation Microsoft DirectX 9 rendering performance to new heights while continuing forward with the high-definition floating-point rendering, driver performance and stability NVIDIA is famous for," stated Tim Sweeney, founder EPIC Games. "As the first GPU supporting the new Pixel Shader 3.0 programming model, the GeForce 6 Series enables games to use entirely new rendering approaches and obtain higher performance per-pixel lighting, shadowing and special effects than previously possible."

The video card series has support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 The GeForce 6800 GPUs give developers unlimited programmability, 32-bit shader precision, displacement mapping, geometry instancing.

NVIDIA's most current video card can be bought for 369 dollars, so I figure the Geforce 6 Ultra series will be priced at over 400 dollars, if not 500 dollars.
