NVIDIA's 8800 Ultra Provides Performance at a Price

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pixels-and-vectors-and-shading-oh-my dept.

Mighty Mouse writes "Hardware review sites across the web have published reviews on NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 Ultra. The response appears to be fairly lukewarm at the moment, mainly thanks to its incredibly high asking price. Bit-tech tested the 8800 Ultra in eight different games at three resolutions, finding it to be on average about 10% faster. TechReport's Scott Wasson reviewed the card using another good selection of games, while HotHardware had the chance to check out SLI performance."

    10% faster for $200 (+/-)? How's this a deal? For that price it'd better do dishes, too.

    I just bought 4 of these puppies for the pure, unadulterated performance boost that makes my life significantly more comfortable during the daily WoW grinding for my demanding gold farm biz.

    Great ... now ill sell my four 8800 GTX. and in ... maybe 10 years i could get the money to buy ONE of those. Damn AMDTI why are you keeping away from US!!! I hope the price war will make the ULTRA a little bit cheaper. I just want to play my starcraft with a Quad SLI ULTRA :-)
