GeForce 8800 Ultra on the 2nd

D_o_S · Apr 30, 2007, 03:12 PM

NDAs about the GeForce 8800 Ultra will expire on the 2nd of May. The final speeds of the card will end up at 612 MHz for the core and 2160 MHz for the memory. The original plan was to have the chip running at 650 MHz, but it looks like NVIDIA didn't push the limits as far as expected.

The shaders of this card will run at 1.5 GHz, which will make them faster than the R600 shader units. The card should end up with a $900 price tag.

eh, why pay the extra money for that?

LiNKiN · Apr 30, 2007, 03:15 PM

WTF 900 bux!

a111087 · Apr 30, 2007, 03:19 PM

so, how did nVidia was going to spoil r600 release again?

D007 · Apr 30, 2007, 03:23 PM

lol garbage.. my dang 8800 gts 320 runs at 660 core and 1923 memory... I can't believe they didnt do more..

GJSNeptune · Apr 30, 2007, 03:26 PM

I'm sure the $900+ is a marketing gimmick. "Holy cow, this card is a must-have!" Then it'll be dropped to a reasonable (haha) price.

In an ideal world, at least.

at least say it so it makes sense..lol..

so, what how did nvidia was? lol is that english?
and fyi.. the 8800 stomps ati lol.. theres no if's and's or butts about it now from what I been hearing.. and it's exactly what I expected.. they make products for people who cant afford the best products.. they are what they are.. you want an aswome car u buy from ferrari. u want something that sounds awsome but isn't quite as great.. u buy from mitsubishi... it is what it is.. lol..

ati is mitsubishi and nvidia is ferrari.. deal with it... lol.. just like AMD..lol..

For $900 it better come with a built-in Blue Ray player!

Seriously, that makes the PS3 look like a MUCH BETTER BUY!

EastCoasthandle · Apr 30, 2007, 03:32 PM

Is this the 7800gtx all over again?
-High price
-Only a few got it when it was first released
-After release it sold out and remained sold out for months.
-Restock for some stores came when the 7900 was released or near release

bruins004 · Apr 30, 2007, 03:34 PM

I remember reading that they werent going to produce that many of these cards.
Thats why it is such a huge price.
They just want to have the best card out there.
It doesnt mean that they are going to produce a lot of them

yea lol.. and they want 600 more bucks for that? lol.. funny.. or insulting.. idk which yet..

Nothgrin · Apr 30, 2007, 03:43 PM

the difference between 8800GTX and GTS is that GTX has 32 more shaders

is there the same difference between 8800Ultra and 8800GTX?

sneekypeet · Apr 30, 2007, 03:44 PM

8950GX2......maybe worth the asking price of 900 !!!!!!!!!

yup, it's gonna happen, NONE can stop it...
and then the 8800GTX will get old, stomped and so on...
But still 8800 will remain as a bad ass card, and also in the not-so-important hall of old fame for being the 1st DX10 capable gpu...

an 8900GTX maybe be a good choice though

so, a very unsure, unexpected conclusion-> (

)
R600=8900
Top 8900

8800 series
Prices= GOOD for consumers

d44ve · Apr 30, 2007, 03:50 PM

so umm... anyone wanna buy my GTS in 3 months? =)
