Doom 3 Performance
Doom 3's engine typically favors NVIDIA hardware, and this round of tests falls in line with the rest. Again the 6800 GS performed the same as the 6800 GT, and again both of those cards led the pack in our tests.

Anandtech: "And today NVIDIA brings the fight back to their door with another product launch that's available on the day it's announced."
ie. It's ok if Nvidia paper launches products, we'll just overlook that for now..

If you actually read the article you'll notice that Derek mentioned that EVGA will be the only manufacturer of this card AND it will only last a few months. ALSO, Monarch Computers has it in stock for $229.Pythias - Monday, November 7, 2005 - link
How's that crow taste? :) $209@newegg.flynnsk - Monday, November 7, 2005 - link
Look closer at Monarch and you will see the 6800GS is NOT in stock, its available through special order only atm.. as far as evga being the only manufacturer..
