j/k

not only is that ultra a waste as you could get near them clocks with a gtx on air and even more on water, but quad sli.. now that is a huge rip off, its hardly any quicker than 2 cards in sli and actually slower in some games.

WOOOT I GOTTA GET 2 OF THEM FOR MY l33t PC! :eek:

ah i typed that wrong, i mean theres

NO WAY IM GETTING 2 OF THEM FOR MY NON L33t PC :rolleyes:

for that price you might aswell get four gts's and plug two in and ballence two on pci ports and pretend you got quad sli

Anandtech's review got it right

But not this time: The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra is an utter waste of money.

What's QSLI got to do with anything?

You cant quad these as far as im aware....... :confused:

We all know f.e.a.r was the only game to get a boost from it and everything else was not worth it/failure.

Good point - need something to make the Ultra look like it's a bigger step up for speed

I thought the price for this insanely overpriced lump of silicon was meant to be BETWEEN 400-500. £528 for a slight overclock, pull the other one.

JamesU2005 · 2 May 2007 at 17:11

Not even worth a look at those prices and limited increase in performance.

Come on Nvidia don't waste your opportunity over ATI's **** up!

It aint all about performance, price/performance is where it is at. I generally buy the almost best card that isn't silly money.

I am deffo waiting for the r600 now. come on ATI, drop a 9700 Pro bomb on Nvidia.

Cyber-Mav · 2 May 2007 at 17:41

well either way atleast nvidia have managed to get this card on the shelves.

Psycho Sonny · 2 May 2007 at 17:42

its not Nvidia that have killed off ati , its AMD, they have ****** it up big time, why oh why AMD, i think they are still knocked out from the beating they got from Core "IRON MIKE" 2 Duo

£528 - Hurhurhur
