There is practically no price point at which a consumer cannot find a GeForce 6 family product - NVIDIA announced that they would be creating a top-to-bottom lineup of products, all based on the NV4x core. At the entry level is the 6200, in the mid-range is the 6600/6600 GT, and at the high-end is the 6800/6800 GT/6800 Ultra. When we say "mid-range", we don't just mean regular run-of-the-mill average performers -- the $200 price-point 6600's can hold their own, even surpassing last generation's high end parts like the 9800XT in many instances
In the 300$ range of NVIDIA's line up is the often looked over GeForce 6800. At the 400$ range is the very popular 6800 GT and at the 200$ mark is the 6600GT AGP and sometimes it seems like the 6800 has been neglected. Up for review today is Gigabyte's GV-N68128DH, a passively cooled AGP GeForce 6800 with 128 MB of memory, utilizing heat pipes and massive heat sinks on both sides of the card.
