The GeForce 6800 LE was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on January 16th, 2005. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV41 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. Since GeForce 6800 LE does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV41 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 225 mm² and 222 million transistors. It features 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 256 MB DDR memory with the GeForce 6800 LE, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 325 MHz, memory is running at 300 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 LE does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce 6800 LE is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface.
