my previous card was a 6800 :)

I used to have a 6600 a loooooooong time ago....

Now about 6 cards later, I got the GTX280...

I still have a 6600GT in my old Athlon64-based computer. Fan gave up after 5 months...but the Zalman VF-700 still runs smoothly :-)

I'd love to see nvidia do an updated version of this for the latest cards

hrmm, I used to own an evga 6800gs and now I own an evga 9800gt and it runs this nalu demo worse than the 6800gs. you would think it would be better, right? same motherboad, memory and cpu, too... I got the latest drivers. this doesn't make sense :(

@LouNGeR83 oh, i just visited your channel and it we could write in dutch too... :P

@LouNGeR83 hehe, the 6800 was in my first pc, a Dell Dimension 5000. Now i have a custom pc with a 3870... causes lots of trouble :/ Lucky i still have warranty and im trying to get a 9800 GT instead :) I prefer Nvidia, but its a pity its more expensive. Would like to have a GTX 285 (or even 295) :)
