BFG 6800 Ultra OC

The hype is over, the PR machine’s words are now going to be put to the test as the final silicon is now in the hands of retailers and a few lucky owners of nVIDIA’s latest GeForce chipset. Dropping the "FX" moniker, the 6800 series brings in new technology that takes Pixel Shader 2.0 and builds upon it with the new Shader Model 3.0. It’s not that 3.0 is better, it’s just more flexible for the programmers, and of course that’s where things lie. The easier a new effect is to program, the more you'll see these new effects in upcoming games.
