has anyone seen an nvidia 6800 chipset on a pci-express card for sale anywhere?

One thread, please. And no, they're not available yet.

Closest thing I've seen is a laptop variant (both Sager and Eurocom have announced, but neither have the Laptop configs with em on their sites yet).

Obviously, it's not a desktop card, but still 🙂

I belive Dell has a 6800 on PCIe called the "gto", you aren't ever going to find them on PCI-X though. 😉

That card, sadly, is a 12 pipe version, and not worth the silicon it was printed on 😛

the guys at nvidia said that it is very possible to put the 6800 chip on a PCIe and their website says that
the card is on on "select versions' http://www.nvidia.com/page/pci_express.html

He's picking on you... It's PCIe, not PCI-X, and he is correct, you will never see this card in a PCI-X variety.

They most likely had a sample directly from nVidia.

Are you sure? From what I understand the gto is a gt but with ram at 900ddr instead of 1000ddr, slower than a gt for sure, but still a respectable card.

its an OC'ed 6800nu.
