In fact, on most applications we are seeing, on average, an upwards of a <b>2x performance increase!</b> The jump in performance is a result of a brand new architecture that includes a <b>superscalar 16-pipe design – a first for a GPU.</b> The GeForce 6800 GPUs also feature <b>native support for Shader Model 3.0,</b> a key feature of DirectX 9.0 that will allow game developers to come up with some very cool new types of visual effects in their next-generation games.
<b>The GeForce 6800 Ultra has 16 full-speed pipes that can be used to process both the texture and shader data.</b> We also doubled the processing power of the pipes to provide additional throughput and performance. We made the design superscalar, in the sense that we have a second shader unit to double the performance for math-intensive operations.
