No...lol, Evga is the manufacturer of the card. Supposedly, for 6800 gt's, they are the best.
Just bought a Geforce 6800 GT... now what?

That gave me a chuckle. 
. Good luck with your card and remember....if temperatures exceed 80 degrees celsius....you've overclocked too high. 5 mhz increments till artifacts....then 10 mhz lower and that's your top.

You've been misinformed, diabolic. If anything...it's quite the contrary. Last generation ATI did, in fact, beat Nvidia as far as quality and performance. This generation, however, Nvidia is back on top. The x800 cannot compete.
Read some reviews at Tom's Hardware or any other reputable website and you'll see the above conclusion many atimes.

Why would one buy a 6800? I assume that HL2 high on your list of performance priorities. And ATI is wiping the floor with nVIDIA cards in HL2.
The 6800's rule over the x800's.
Check any Doom 3 / Source benchmark that's been released.

yes but hl2 was designed to take advantage of some aspects in the ati cards that nvidia does not have in theirs

To those of you who have 6800 GT's as well, any advice you can give me? Any performance tweaks, overclocking advice, really really really neat things you can do with it? :

:Now you site back and bask in the fact that you have the best card on the market. And then wait for a game like HL2 to come along so you can use that card to its full potential

Possibly, but the difference in frame rate/image quality isn't going to be enough to really notice.

I suggest that a mod close this thread before it getting chaotic. ATI fanboys seem unable to grasp the concept of their cards doing less well than nvidia's this quarter. It's a video card, ffs. Grow up.

Not entirely true. The top end ATI card (X800 XT), in stress test, has proven to be the best performer. This is fine if you have $550 to $700 (retail) to spend on this card. For the more budget minded, Nvidia 6800 Gt actually performs better than the comparable X800 Pro and you're paying only $400 tops.

wats wrong with you? we're just continuing the never ending argument about which video card is better.
Besides, I admit that the 6800 is better than the x800, im just saying that ati offers things like full advantage of directX. And yes its very true you really wont bec able to tell the difference in fps or graphical quailty between the two high end video cards.
