NVidia GeForce 6800 XT

The XT is based on a standard 6800 with eight pipelines instead of the usual 12, and one less than the usual five vertex shaders. The 325MHz core clock is unchanged, but this Inno3D card has only 128MB of RAM. The changes may seem big on paper and they are in the real world too: they result in an average drop of around 23 percent over the standard 6800. This plants it firmly in entry-level territory, with 18fps in Far Cry and 11fps in Call of Duty 2. Lowering a few quality settings will give you playable frame rates, so it’s just viable as a gaming choice.
