Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce Go 6800 Ultra sales 25 February 2005. This is Curie architecture notebook card based on 130 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 256 MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.2 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 89 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at
of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
