Conclusion

Gigabyte's unique cooling solution represents a dream come true for many case-modding fans - provided the card fits on the motherboard without colliding with its components. The volume of the slightly noisy fan is easily adjusted with the included V-Tune 2 utility. Thanks to the GeForce 6800 GT, 3D performance is top notch as well. The software bundle is interesting for anyone who doesn't already have a copy of Doom 3. The rest of the software package is pretty weak. The GV-N68T256DH is absolutely worth a recommendation for the intended target group.

Pros
High 3D performance & Shader Model 3.0 Some texture filter optimizations can be deactivated Ingenious cooler design Adjustable fan speed Nice tweaking tool with hardware monitoring functions Game bundle: Doom 3 (not in Germany and the rest of Europe)
Cons
Fan a bit noisy in the standard setting Depending on the motherboard, spacings can be a problem No video inputs Long board Besides Doom3, not much interesting software included
