It is supposed to be but if you want the most power wait for the Alienware ALX X2 to come out and equip it with 2 6800s and then you can play D3 at maximum values since the ALXX2 divides the screen in half and renders it using 2 seperate cards allowing for some rather impressive quality. That is if you have about 7-10 grand to blow.


Now THAT is awesome :D:D I'd shove in 2 x800's (ATI fanboy :p) and a P4 3.0 GHz. (I really want duel 3.6's, but no Motherboard supports that :()

I want to see the mother that supports a 3.66 Ghz, 3gigs of ram and a GeForce 6800 without collapsing or cutting the energy of the whole neighbourhood.

Ok :lol: I will buy my own thermonuclear facility to support the new Nvidia products!
Did you see the huge, very huge, cooler of the 6800? You have to leave a PCI slot free to use it! Nivida, you must learn fast how to reduce the size of your GPUs.

I'm officially patenting my idea for a gpu submerged in liquid nitrogen ;)

Actually wouldn't a vacuum around the processor work? I'm guessing there's no heat in space(?) :eek:

We could steal one of those military computer experiments, just to test the heat that generates the newest Nvidia GPUs. (But I think even the experiments will suffer a collapse when they run them). Glory for ATi! (They don't need PCI Xpress to be the best! (Poetry!) :D

I think Klasnic came up with a good idea. Though I still like using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. And it is always smooth and tasty.

You have to do it carefully and after maybe five minutes in room temp its fine. If you go to g4techtv.com go to the screen savers section and search liquid nitrogen ice cream. Its one funny tv segement though it looked tasty as hell.
