Accelerator
A 2005 NVIDIA configuration with a 425 MHz graphics clock and about 35 GB/s peak memory bandwidth.
A GeForce 6800 Ultra with the reference cooler and its printed shroud artwork.
NVIDIA's 2005 architecture chapter documents its clock and memory interface, not the April 2004 reference-card capacity or a board-power rating. The catalog does not turn its pipeline description into a FLOPS figure.

a + b + … sum v1 Adds 1 memory-bandwidth figure obtained by theoretical-peak. Nothing in the catalog is left out of it. A total is only as trustworthy as the decision about what belongs in it, so both the terms and the exclusions are named records.
The cited chapter documents a 2005 configuration. It does not establish the April 2004 reference-card memory capacity.
