8800 Ultra will initially cost about $829, (factory overclocked versions may cost more)

dissapointing
for the performance you gain, i cant see the price justified
for that price you can get 2 gts's that will outperform it

8800 Ultra performed better than 2 GTS in Rainbox six

There still many games that are not fully optimized to SLI ...............

Can you overclock a GTX to Ultra speeds? Or it's not likely.

I think you can if you voltmod it

However, the ultra use a new revision of G80 silicon that allows for higher clock speeds. So, this means that the Ultra can be overclocked to higher speeds than an overclocked GTX

What a waste of money.

a horrible waste of cash....they just wanted the top stock card no matter what.

They probably just want to make a little extra profit, to compete with the X2900XT coming out. And maybe that will decrease the price of the GTX.

Why? You can volt mod an 8800GTX and add a water block and overclock it higher a lot higher yourself than an Ultra for 200 bucks less while still being cooler temps.

Just a stupid idea..and if your not an overclocker than its still a horrible idea as the performance increase is not enough at all to go from an 8800GTX
