Would I 620 run 2 ultras and a quad? I dont think that it even has 4 connectors... I would think about an 800 or 1000w PSU maybe.... the EVGA that you have put in this quote is not a ultra... are they 8800 ultras or not?

Sorry slight confusion.. the specs are MY pc built in dec.. I am asking for NEW specs that will include 2 ultras to the value of 1200 pounds . Thanks..

well ultras are about 350 each? and a good psu is about 100+, could also get the OCZ gold memory 2x2gb for 60. (my pound key dont work)

Are the ultras really worth ~100 more then the GTX(£226)??

Also can't seem to find any ultras on the ocuk site.

sychnant · 24 Feb 2008 at 18:04

Yes just noticed that.... where have all the ultras gone?

Don't bother with SLI Ultras if you have a budget of only £1200, get SLI 8800gtx instead. Saves £200 and isn't much slower.

I think they came off the production line in January (i think). So are getting rare now.

I got a single GTX on a 24" monitor and everything apart from Crysis runs at max framerate. I would recommend getting a single GTX with mobo and getting another at a later date if you think you need it.

Thanks everyone for the advice :-)
