Jingle bells, Jingle be... Oh hey, I didn't notice you there .. humiliated laughter .. Hi everyone, Christmas season is here and when you are from the "tech hood" you'll know that Christmas season means silly season (and the "Hood" means a bunch of uber geeks from the hardware industry) ;-0

A couple of weeks ago we reviewed a GeForce 6600 from that wicked company called XFX. One week later NVIDIA however decided to throw in their Christmas release and lifted up the spirit by releasing yet another new graphics card, the GeForce 6800 GS. So since we like XFX so much and since this is going to be a hell-of-a popular graphics card for a lot of people in that Christmas spirit, we just had to take a peek at another GeForce 6800 GS.

He got two thing wrong, though.
1. The clocks for the 6800GS Extreme Edition - he said the core is clocked at 425, but in fact it's 450/1050.
2. The XXX does not come with COD2. Mine didn't and I haven't seen COD in the picture with the card's bundle.

I dont think it comes with it, I think you have to DL it, but I could be wrong. I though you got a voucher with it, not the actual disk.

There was nothing like that in my box. It's possible that they changed the bundle since I got my card, but I sure don't have COD2
