Performance
All 64 MB GeForce
cards reviewed this far, including the ASUS V6800/64, perform almost
identically due to the reference design use. The card also overclocks
very similarly to the SUMA Platinum 64 MB GeForce, with a slightly
better memory overclock.

Price
The price tag
of the ASUS V6800/64 is expected to be higher than that of the SUMA
Platinum 64 MB GeForce, however you get what you pay for. By including
the hardware monitoring and the software bundle, the price may be
raised but the features are enhanced.

Drivers
The ASUS drivers
have a good look and feel. Their only downside is the fact that
they are the same drivers as used for the Deluxe series, meaning
that you will be left dreaming of some of the advanced features
of these cards every time you right click on the task bar utility.
SmartDoctor
is perhaps one of the best parts of the ASUS V6800/64. By providing
a driver based hardware monitoring utility, the V6800/64 is always
in safe hands. In addition, the overclocking utility as well as
the dynamic overclocking feature of SmartDoctor are both very cool
features.

Features
Lacking TV-out
and other features we have come to expect from ASUS, the V6800/64
does come with hardware monitoring; a big plus. In addition the
thermal grease used to attach the heatsink to the GPU show high
quality.

Retail
Availability
It seems that
while ASUS may be producing this card for the retail market,
we are yet to see any of these cards for sale. You may well be waiting
into the the release of the NV15 until you see your V6800/64.

Documentation
& Software Bundle
The manual included
with the V6800/64 is quite complete and details the steps of install
and utility use. The software bundle of the card, on the other hand,
is essentially useless for the type of person who would be the purchaser
of such a card, as is quite often the case.
