Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2004 with a MSRP of $599. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename NV40) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.
Memory
The 6800 Ultra DDL has 256 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 550 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 35.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 6800 Ultra DDL occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W.
