Introduction

NVIDIA has been through a bit of a fix for the past two years. The high-end graphics card market was dominated by ATI, starting with the Radeon 9700 Pro card. which was succeded by the Radeon 9800Pro/XT cards. With ATI continuously cranking up the competition, NVIDIA always seemed lag behind. Even worse, NVIDIA embroiled themselves with the 3DMark affair and allegations of programmed cheats in their drivers, earning scorn and criticism from hardware enthusiasts.

But with the NV40 GPU, it looks like they have finally put the past behind them; and are finally on the right path. So today, we will be looking at the BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC, which is their version of the new NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT GPU.

Before we examine the card, here's a little bit about BFG Technology.
