he said Xtreme, not GT... and also that it wasn't on the website... the 6600GT is ON the website.
it's probably some kind of LE version of the 6800...
i'm thinking it's this card

6600GT
Fillrate: 4000MTexels/sec
Mem Bandwidth: 16GB/sec
XFX 6800XT
Fillrate: 2800MTexels/sec
Mem Bandwidth: 32GB/sec
6600GT is faster overall and is a better buy.
As a sidenote, the specs look screwed up. It has the core clocks of a 6800LE (350Mhz) and mem clocks of an 6800XT (500Mhz). Anyway at those specs 32GB/sec memory bandwidth wont be utilised. :cheesygri

Not hot even it is standard 6800. I saw some place selling 6800 PCIE for around $145....

Yeah, Nvidia's XT line is a way of confusing people with ATI's XT line.
Everyone knows that with ATI, XT = the best. So Nvidia turned it on it's head, and made their budget cards the XT line. Now uninformed people either equate the ATI XT cards with ****** cards, or think the Nvidia XT cards must be good because they have the "XT" name, like ATI's best.
How's that for playing it dirty, eh?

**** Nvidia! ATI rocks! Ati's next gen cards are going to burn NVIDIA into the ground as they do now with the x1900xts vs 7800GTX.
7800GTX's are way over priced!
