Someone gave me this link.

http://www.techbuy.com.au/products/...9999_TD_GeForce_FX6800_128MB_TV_DVI_AGP8X.asp

Now I am very confused because I thought the FX series was like 5200 and stuf (the 5's). Is this a mistake by the vendor or what? The link is au so i know the price is insane compared to Us prices. I live in US but he gave me that link.

hmm, yea, that's a typo. the 6x00 series is not part of the 'FX' 5x00 series. it's just a 6800

Now he is saying that his system recognizes it as "FX/NX6800 Series" why is that then if it is not a FX card?

A lot of people still stick the FX on the 6XXX series, I don't know why but I personally hate it as it confuses people. Shows how people don't pay attention to what they are doing.

yeah, all of those FX5x00's are nothing close to the new 6800's, a whole different animal. i wouldnt put them in the FX catigory, though a lot of people do like lilx-complicated name said.....sad really....
