Yowza, does this new video card from PNY looks like an HDTV dream or what? PNY just announced
the availability of the GeForce 6800 GS PCI-Express card that comes overclocked right out of the box. The new card supports flat panel resolutions of 1920 x 1200 with a maximum res of 2048 x 1536.

Combine that with a superscalar GPU architecture, 256 MB of RAM, a 470Mhz core and a zippy 1.1Ghz memory rate and you've got a killer video card. Now if it only had HDTV outs...wait a second, we've got DVI
and there's some mention of an HDTV "pod" (ugh, can we possibly use that word any more???). Three other pluses are High Dynamic-Range (HDR) support, HDTV encoding for full screen high-def and the ability to run two of these babies at once!

What does all of this goodness cost in a single package? MSRP from PNY
is $279, which actually isn't bad for what's in the box. Good for HDTV
and good for gaming; two check-marks on my must-have list.
