NVidia XFX GeForce 6800 hits streets

TrustedReviews got ahold of an XFX GeForce 6800 3D graphics card, which is based directly on an NVidia reference design.  The reference GeForce board sports a base GPU clock speed of 425 MHz, but the reviewed board runs at 450MHz (no guarantees on long-term shipping speed, yet), with memory that clocked in at 1.1 GHz.  Not surprisingly, for the most part the GeForce beats out ATI's X800s (albeit by a slim margin), but good luck getting your hands on one—before XFX really ramps up production they'll be in very short supply.
