GeForce 6700 XL: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce 6700 XL sales 14 November 2004. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Curie architecture and made with 110 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 128 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.55 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 17.6 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. 1x 6-pin power connector is required.
