Any1 got benchmark details on these? 6800's would be nice.

I'll test 'em as soon as I get home, probably early next week.

OGL 1.5 support? ATI upgraded theirs to 2.0 with the 5.3 drivers. :paranoid: Just makes ya think since Nvidia are the ones big on OGL they would have a certified driver already.
