Sick, we should see offerings from EVGA and XFX. This card is not vaporware.


Must...... get...... two..... QUICK!!!!!!1111oneone

This card is really vaporware, who's gonna pay more than 800 bucks for just a 20% increase in performance in the best case scenario against a 500+ GTX? This is just another 7800GTX 512, to steal the thunder and glory from the R600, the only difference is that the 7800GTX indeed stole the thunder of a real and available card, this one is stealing the thunder from a ghost R600XTX. So something good should bring the R600XTX then, the R600XT already outperforms the GTS nicely.

Very spotty review, but it still gives a good general picture.

And that general picture is very clear: nV can go f*ck themselves.
$830+ USD suggested retail price for what's essentially a cherry picked OCed 8800 GTX?! :roll:

This card had the potential to be a great high end option, but noooo, can't have that now can we? :roll:

Hah- they gave it 3 stars! Good for them. $830. Blah. Hope Nvidia still sends them cards after the 3 ranking......

I wonder if the vendors will sell OCed version of the ultra.

XFX 8800 ultra XXX edition aka +700/+2400?

Never realized how much of a monster the 8800GTX was in comparison to the 1950xtx! (been out of the loop since i started gaming mainly on the 360).

i know, clock for clock the 8800 is like double timing it over the x1950xtx

i want to see what those crazy swedes, or norweigens can do when they slap on their supercharged multi-phase liquid nitrogen bat out of bloody hell and back cooling rigs on a 8800ultra.
