im betting its a typo, its probably more like a 6600GT cuz i cant find that card anywhere on the XFX website
Its not a typo...Its half the price for half the preformance for half the memory. If you cant find it on XFX its because your not looking in right places

Half the memory does not equal half the performance. Actually that couldn't be any further from the truth.

its the regular 6800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150068
I dont really care about the ram on it. Since i havent noticed performance drops from 128 to 256. So should i get that card over this ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130202
I was going ot get that 6800 until i found that.
Save your money imo, save up for a better card.
Cant and will not. 6800 series it is for me. I have been waiting since they came out. Just dont know which one. I would want that GT if you guys say its good.

Just get a cheaper LE. They have a great unlocking track record and are very cheap. That "GT" definately isn't just a 128mb version of a real GT. It is just a regular vanilla flavored 6800.
Save up for a 6800GT 256mb. Thats what I am doing. the 6800 and the 6800GT's are a difference. With the 6800GT 256mb you can overclock to ultra speeds easy so really you'll have a $400 card for only $275? THe memory and clock speeds of the 6800 are a big difference away.

what a wierd card. They ditched the ram cooling.
Now I see why XFX has the worst cooling

EDIT: Over at fatwallet they seem to believe it's a 6800 with all 16 pipelines enabled (400 core). Other than that I really have no idea.

Also, notice that the memory speed is a lot lower (and it won't overclock to normal, it's not GDDR3).
How is the unlocking record for the Evga 6800's?
That link from the first post is definitely a 6800 NU. All you have to do is look at the memory clock. 700mhz mem = 6800 NU. If it were 900 or 1000mhz mem then it could be a 6600gt or a 6800gt.
There will be a price drop really soon for the 6800 gt's and ultra, so I reccomend you wait for those to take place this month.

a price drop on the 6800gt???
I'm sure there will be too. Dude, they have the 7800GT out too now at the egg. XFX has one OCed above stock clocks for $419 shipped!
Check it out... nVidia's gonna be layin down his pipe! :) The funny part is that I just bought an X800XT PE AGP from the ati clearance. (If I didn't buy the Dell deal on the 7800GTXs, then I would been buying the 7800GT right now). I think it's a damn good price for the new King of video cards. ATI always had their mid-grade X800 cards (X800XT) well above $500 when they came out. The PEs were like $600 and the XT was still expensive. These 7800GTs aren't breaking mid 400s.
