[lee63]

Anyone have a GTX that will clock like this on air?

Wow, if they OC like that, I might have to Step up :captnkill:

:rofl @ the graphs.

The ultra is like 50x faster than the gtx :eek:

Oh wait.

Oh wait.

:lol:

Looks like the Ultra will be a nice oc'er. Still not sufficient enough to justify a $1k price tag.

[SH64]

Awesome & looks sexy!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[nrdstrm]

Well, maybe not quite $999...

Nvidia has told OEMs that the MSRP of the Ultra is $829

Hmmm... From this page (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffabu.beareyes.com.cn%2F2% 2Flib%2F200705%2F02%2F20070502011.htm&langpair=zh%7Cen&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools) of that Chinese review:Due to improved transistor 8800ULTRA single card consumes 175W. Less than the 8800GTX 177W.Looks like it's at least a little more than a clockspeed change, anyway.

sounds like another step/spin.

ya, its only one of many stories of the bravery that our men do on a daily basis in iraq and afghanistan that is over shadowed by the bad...

[Amuro]

Is there a way to translate that page into English? Some kind of language pack that I don't have, maybe?
You need to download the simplified Chinese language pack.

Meh. Not too interesting IMO.

The performance increase is so small it'd barely even be worth the time to swap a GTX for an Ultra, let alone the cost.

Also, it looks like there are some pretty strong CPU limitations going on there too (in xbit's review).

Looking foward to the review.:D

[Mr_LoL]

Lol. $829 is still an almighty rip off. $650 will be alright I suppose.

[slaWter]

Wow impressive OC potential! Can't wait for the reviews :D

[SH64]

Yep can't wait to see it in action!

[A101Sugar]

I want :captnkill: :captnkill: :captnkill:

too bad $800+ is ridiculous for a video card.

even $600 or $500 is insane....

for a 16 year old $400 is too much....

Why can't computer parts be cheaper? lol

[SH0DAN]

I cant see Nvidia releasing an 'Ultra' now'unless its was on a smaller process. and had faster memory AND had more ROPS/Shaders/etc...

I cant see Nvidia releasing an 'Ultra' now'unless its was on a smaller process. and had faster memory AND had more ROPS/Shaders/etc...Well based on the info that's out there, it seems it's coming. It sounds like the faster memory (and core/shader) clocks you speak of are true... Do you think the smaller process/more shaders, etc., will be there as well?

I guess we'll find out soon...

[911medic]

Here's one of the first reviews... It's translated from Russian over at iXBT:
