The $829 GeForce 8800 Ultra Video Card Arrives
The $829 GeForce 8800 Ultra Video Card Arrives
The GeForce 8800 Ultra takes the world’s fastest GPU and pushes it further: with a core clock of 612 MHz, a shader clock of 1500MHz and a memory clock of 1080MHz, the GeForce 8800 Ultra sets a new benchmark for 3D graphics performance. The GeForce 8800 Ultra will set you back at least $829, which makes this not only the fastest, but one of the most expensive cards out there.

i'm wondering if 8800 GTX's in SLI would out-perform a single Ultra....
Cyberpower generic case
B450M PRO-VDH MAX
Ryzen 5 3600 w/PBO/OC
CM Hyper 212 EVO push/pull
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 CL16
MSI RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X 8G OC LHR
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB
6GB Seagate HDD
EVGA 650BQ 650W PSU
ASUS VE278 27" monitor, Dell E2216HV (vertical)
Logitech Z533 2.1 Speakers, G935 7.1 or G435 headset
MS LXM-00001 keyboard
Razer Deathadder Elite, XBOX One Lunar Shift controller
I've come a long way from my original Core2Duo E6750 build y'all!

The mind boggles at how faster clocks on the same architecture uses less power!
Seems strange too that there are a couple of minus performance advantages over the GTX, surely again the same architecture doesn't need drivers to be updated to take advantage of just a raw speed bump?
But the bottom line is:
If you want winXP GTX speeds* on Vista then get the Ultra
Oh yeah, and when you do get an ultra, blag another one and go V8 on their asses

*same most of the time

I'd say more of a Preview XFX is sending us out a card here in a week or two, so we should have a real review on this card by when it comes out on May 15th if all goes as planned. These AIB cards are more important anyway... Reference doesn't mean much.... XFX will also have three Ultra versions a regular, extreme and XXX... So I'm interested in seeing what the XXX will be overclocked to. People are raising the core form 612 to over 700Mhz on these Ultra cards as the CPU to Shader ratio is different and it has better capacitors, cooling and yadda yadda.

strange... I didn't see an R600 ;) We've had R600 for some time and will bring you the review on it when the NDA has lifted.dgood wrote:so I saw that picture of the r600 and the 8800 ultra or whatever side by side, is that a hint of things to come review wise? or just a good photoshop to show comparison?

None of our review samples ever go out as contest prizes... The contest prizes are all retail products that have a warranty... wouldn't want to send something out that is pre-production with no warranty to you guys.vicaphit wrote:Im guessing that the XFX ultra that you recieve will go into someone's system rather than go out as a contest. man would that be a great contest!
Dont think the thing would even fit in my case

absolutely true. LOL i guess let me rephrase that...... 300-350$ for 10% increase. LOLZertz wrote:Not everybody is upgrading from a 8800GTx thoughDragon_Cooler wrote:829 for a 10% increase...NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still no thanks!! even so 830 is way way way too much for a card, especially since 8900's are coming out sometime soon.
*Yawn*
Wake me when the 8900s show up. That's the soonest I'm even letting the thought of a new video card cross my mind. And that assumes that there are DX10 games that I want that will NOT run on my 7900GTXs. That is, there is no decent-looking fallback render path for DX9. That's not going to happen for a while.
