what ever happend to this card?

was there a problem with it or something? :confused:

-iceblade^ · 23 Apr 2008 at 18:22

it's old now, and not worth the price, nor is it being produced...

AFAIK, it was killed off not too long ago

And still the daddy at 1920--1200 pixels for a single card

EdGey · 23 Apr 2008 at 19:45

yes thats what i thought, it was still very very fast. just wonder why they stopped production, although i do agree it was overpriced.

No need to be sorry mate, I don't make the rules or anything - just thought I would save you from getting the mods involved

2 Cores and still gets beat by an Ultra in some tests.

LoadsaMoney · 23 Apr 2008 at 20:31

Yeah just like the GX2, thats faster than the 3870 X2, but still gets beat of the 8800 GTX/Ultra in some tests.

Yeah he just loves the OLD Nvidia cards with the NEW name

I love my ultra.

Is a blinding card, I won't change it until a true next gen card sees a release.

EdGey · 23 Apr 2008 at 23:38

is the ultra like the GTX? very good at higher resolution? but average at lower resoutions?

Reality|Bites · 23 Apr 2008 at 23:59

The Ultra is a GTX just a newer revision core and better memory.

-iceblade^ · 24 Apr 2008 at 00:07

adn faster clocks, right?

Reality|Bites · 24 Apr 2008 at 00:10

yeah that too

Its not Tuned for lower RES's, you would not care about your FPS at 1024x768, when you should be gaming at 1600x1200 or 1920x1440, esp when lots of AA/AF added.

Very pleased with my ultra, bought it a few days after i got a 2407 as my old card was struggling. Will have to be something pretty impressive to make me get anything new, I just wish the cooler on it shifted more air.
