Seems that Nvidia's new PCI-X 6800 GT has no advantage over the original one...

i like the radeon x800 better than nvidia's, 6800 takes up the adajecent pci slot

[Assassin]

6800 and 6800 GT only takes one slot. I have the BFG 6800 GT.

Alienware is makin a new comp where u can use 2 identical grapchis and they will each run and make it like one big graphics...

No, the PCI-X motherboards have it and its called SLI from Nvidia.

i'm not buying a brand new pc, so motherboard with pciexpress is useless.

those 6800 and x800 are great and expensive (~500$), but if someone would lend one to me :-)

I'm upgrading to PCI-X in a year when its popular... and the PCI-X offer NO performance increase on anything, becouse we dont need all of that extra bandwidth yet.

i personally like ati better, but i don't see why you'd need so good of graphics unless you're getting doom 3 or something.

Or if you always want to run games at 2048x1600 with 8xAA/16xAF.

[Critical_Impact]

I'll probably wait for PCI-X to become more widely used and have all the glitches worked out of the system before i get a computer with PCI-X

[Assassin]

Yeah, I think EVERYONE will have PCI-E in 2-3 years from now.

[stephenob]

PCI spec.Nvidia's New 6800 Gt With Pci-x

This board has PCI-X 2.2 or 2.3 compliant 64-bit/133Mhz bus connector or the new PCI-Expert bus connector ?

Pay attention! Note that PCI-X 2.2 or 2.3 compliant 64-bit/133Mhz is an evolution from the old simple PCI 32-bit/33Mhz 2.2 compliant bus connector for Fax-Modem install slot , it isn´t the new PCI-Expert bus conector (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x) for SLI - Video board slot.
