The GeForce 6800 XT was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on September 30th, 2005. Built on the 110 nm process, and based on the NV48 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. Since GeForce 6800 XT does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV48 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 287 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 XT, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 300 MHz, memory is running at 266 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce 6800 XT is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
