message: About the 6800 XT, what in the world is MiB?  "(128MiB DDR, 256 MiB DDR, 128 MiB GDDR3, and 256 MiB GDDR3)"
*MiB means mebibyte, i.e. 1048576 bytes. 78.3.126.223 (talk) 13:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Should we list the MSRP of video cards?  The comment above makes a good point: the price of video cards change so dramatically that it is difficult to give accurate figures.  When the 6800 Ultra Extreme came out it cost over five hundred dollars; since then, I have seen it priced as low as 300 dollars.
*They have also been replaced by much more advanced cards now, for 300US you can get a 7900 GT which quite a ibt more powerful. Coldpower27 21:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: MSRP

message: I did a major cleanup, now all the different chips are properly titled, and i've added info on the 6800GS and 6800XT, both due out on monday november 7 2005. This article needs more grammar/typo work, but I've done my bit for today. Themindset 01:58, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm trying to figure out the specs for an XFX 6800XT card, which apparently only NewEgg is selling at the moment (item N82E16814150122).  Despite what the article currently says, the 6800XT is definitely not an AGP card.  Specs on NewEgg say 8 pipes, but no description of the core clock or RAM clock.  XFX's site isn't much help.  An article on The Register says that the 6800XT was intended mainly as an OEM part, but it's obviously hitting the mainstream market now.  Someone should update/fix the 6800XT section.

message: I know everyone has their opinions, but I've consistently advocated WIKI should NOT be a technical specification database. There should be narrative and explanation i.e. something the casual viewer can read and understand, that illuminates the technology in some manner. I think the long chip lists should be consolidated into more space efficient, and enlightening, comparative tables, as already seen on GeForce_7_Series page. Timharwoodx 12:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs a table

message: The section on the 6500 is just a short spec list. Doesn't anyone know something else about it? Is there any potential to overclock it or unlock features?
    
    The 6500 as I understand it, is a PCIe NV44, thus its just a 6200 TC with a higher core clocks and comes with 128mb of ram onboard and uses a 64bit bus. I would assume it to be similiar to the ability of the PCIe 6200 in the way of features and Overclokcing Candle 86 00:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: If random spots keep appearing (flickering) in the screen, it is possible the GPU is overheating and can't function properly. Either improve cooling, or play until the spots start appearing, then Alt-Tab and wait until the card cools down (about a minute depending on how far it was heated). EVEREST is good for watching temperature.--89.147.67.118 (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem with red dots 

message: more to the point posssibly rewriting of the sepcs sheets on the geforce articles to be a bit more like the radeon related articles;
they have a clear concise table showing all card and chip revisions in a single table and differences between them - it makes comparison - comparitively easy compared to the broken up nature of the geforce articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.136.106.38 (talk) 12:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding the statement, "however, there are still reports of people successfully unlocking pipelines and overclocking the newest 6200A NV44A chip ranges, using older Geforce drivers." I would love to have an information source (for me personally, as well as other Wikipedia readers). Modul8r 21:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unlocking the new 6200A NV44A chipset 

message: The OpenGL specification that it supports should be more clear and presented on the first table with the primary information, currently it only shows the DirectX version, doesnt help very many people who use other platforms now does it. I felt that I had to dig to get to the OpenGL spec.

thread_title:  just saying thank you 

message: You guys really need to think about what you are trying to convey with this article. I see regurgitated specs. Who cares? There is a whole page of tables about the specs. (Comparison of NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units) You should go look at the GeForce 256, 2, 3, 4, FX, and 8 articles. There already is some good architectural content here, but it seems that everyone just wants to post a section about their favorite variant. They are all the same architecture. Leave the specs of each of NV's price segment releases for the specs page. --Swaaye 20:14, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Update: The CPU FSB is upped by 25% (685 MHz), and the overheating issue is all but gone. It still overheats, but it reaches a thermal equilibrium at 71°C, resulting in artifacts still coming up in C&C3, but with reduced severity and no FPS drop (turning on Write Combining and forcing AA off produces a major FPS hit, instead of the other way around). Additionally, the card refuses to load drivers other than the default Windows ones. If I install other drivers, the card turns off: XP says everything's right, but I'm stuck with 8bit colors and 800x600 at best, as well as high CPU usage (which is a telltale sign of XP using software rendering). Setting anything higher resets the setting to 640x480, and refresh rate is locked to "hardware default". --89.147.67.118 (talk) 16:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
