Anyone else have a 6800LE?

Am I the first person that has one?

XFX just shipped me my replacement to replace a dead 5900XT.

Rob
 
What are the specs on that one? RAM? How many pipes? Clock speed? :confused: Didn't know there was a 4th variation on the 6800.
 
Word on the street is that it's an OEM-only part for now... it's suppose to be weaker than the 6800 "vanilla" - I think it only has 8 pipes and it's based on the NV40 rather than the NV45
 
I believe that's an 8 pipe card with a slightly lower clock speed (300?) than a non-ultra. From the only benches I've seen it manages to keep up fairly well with the 5950/9800XT and can even beat them in some benches when overclocked. :eek:

That was the initial info, but if XFX shipped him one it probably not OEM-only. Not like that matters anyways... plenty of "OEM only" cards show up on pricewatch and even at newegg.

I Think it was 320MHz/700MHz.
 
It wouldnt make much sense for them to do a 6800LE retail with the 6600's coming out at the same price point.

Well it looks to be pretty competitive even without the OCing. For a card that cost about $199 it seems to keep a great pace with cards that still cost around $350.
 
This is the card I'm waiting for, either this or the 6600GT. Should be a nice option, since hte 9800Pro's are still going for $200. If you can get roughly the same speed as the 9800Pro with the new NVidia cards, yet still have the recent technology built into the NV card, that seems to be the way to go, at least for me.
 
Hey guys,

I'll post some picts tonight. I did a bench on an IwillDKX on winxp home with 2GB (1GB recognized ram) with an opteron 150 and pulled about 18.5k in 3dmark2k1

I will do some doom3 benchies tonight, as well as 3dmark2k3. If someone can find me a farcry benchmakr (or what to type to do a benchmark), I'll do that as well.

Check back after 9pm CST :)

Rob

UPDATE:3dmark2k3: 6867

There is no NV45.

my 3mdark2001se scores are as follows (for some reason the "publish" checkbox is greyed out...)

Here are some screenshots from my 3dmark scores:

And more of what you've been waiting for.....DOOM3 scores!
EDIT: These are results from "timedemo demo1" in the console.
All scores are at "HIGH" quality, and numbers are in "frames/second"
640x480 = 85.6
800x600 = 77.3
1024x768 = 61.3
1280x1024 = 44.5
1600x1200 = 32.1

With 2AA/8AF
640x480 = 75.8
800x600 = 62.0
1024x768 = 45.9
1280x1024 = 32.7
1600x1200 = 24.6

Wow it is an LE. I guess the question now is how much do you want for it. lol :D
 
Pretty cool. So when are we going to see these things? Is NVidia going to talk about the 6800LE when they announce the 660 series at QuakeCon?

If I am not mistaken, I saw this card in best buy this weekend.

Damn they already have it @ BB? I checked mine (Maryland) and ...well all they got are 5200's and 5900's, bahhh
 
so this card is 9800pro price but faster n more feature?
kinda like 9800xt vs 6800nu?

wats the 3dmark03 score? 3dmark01 is cpu dependent..
 
Is it my imagination, or, is the core on the wrong side of that thing.... Lol.

Anyway, pretty neat looking. At first I thought they used half the memory chips from the picture of the "back" side, but then I looked more carefully at the other and it turns out they are all around the "top" for convenient coverage with one of those oversized heatsinks. And you can easily see all the marked off spots and holes to easily attach one of those too. These people were prepared for ocers it seems. Speaking of the memory, isn't that just a bit different from the usual? They look a little strangely colored and rather surprisingly sharp cornered.

Isn't it a shame to take off that stock cooler though? Neatest one I've seen in a while...

Nothing really different from that card and the regular 6800's.
I really do hope I can find one, $199 for a something that can beat out the $250+ 9800XT/5950U is just freaking great since cash is tight right now.

Maybe XFX is preparing to release some 6800XT's?

Can this be bought from XFX? I have an MSI 5900XT, but I would rather have this based on your timedemos.
 
Nice doom3 scores. I changed my mind about the 6600GT (56fps in 1024x768x32 HQ 4xAA 8xAF, ~8000 3DMark03), it does seem faster than the 6800LE.

all the 6600's should be slower due to their 128 bit memory interface.
Click to expand...
But in 2 benchmarks so far the 6600GT >> 6800LE. The NV43 seem to be a much better chip despite having only a 128-bit memory bus with 1GHz GDDR3 memory, compared to the 8 pipeline 6800LE with 256-bit 700MHz DDR1 memory.

Yes. All doom3 scores were done with "timedemo demo1".

Then the are not comparable to [H]'s numbers as you said. The timedemo does not represent true gameplay.

Don't forget that according to nVidia's website, the 6600's are PCIe only. That 6800LE looks to be AGP. Hmm, I'm thinking an LE might be a fairly inexpensive upgrade path for me.

the numbers came from this article and yes they are directly comparable: http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQyLDQ=

Yeah, the 6800LE is the budget choice for AGP. But the 6600GT is a better performance choice. Too bad going for PCI-E now leaves people out of SLI in the future without again upgrading the motherboard.

So 6600gt AGP > 6800LE AGP?

there is no 6600GT AGP. but yeah, 6600GT PCI-E > 6800LE AGP from 3dmark03 and doom3 benchmarks.
