It sure looks long enough

Long enough and it carries a small air conditioner

The power that thing's going to draw will be crazy.

It looks like the X2900XTX is going to have a job on its hands!

Still debating if the 8800 Ultra specs warrant the $850 sticker shock price. I guess it's like going from a Porsche Carrera S to a Turbo.

Hmm... I'm not sure how "worth it" it will be either. Maybe $620-700 would be a better price , since you can get the EVGA Superclocked 8800GTX with
2.0GHz Memory Clock
621MHz Core clock
768MB GDDR3 RAM
from Newegg for 599.99- 20 rebate

Is the 8800ULTRA going to have 1GB or still 768MB RAM? If 1GB, i might see the price increase a little easier

holy video cards thats one heck of a beast

 

[Impulse666]

It sure looks long enough

thats what she said...




in other news, looks just as pricey and over the top as any of the other 8800s.

 

[Dual_Corex2]

Very sexy indeed. But i am also curious as to the memory size, i would expect at least 1gb.

And nice comment Impulse. It was perfect. lol.

The day a video card, mainstream that is, break $1000 dollar retail, I'm selling this PC and going Console for gaming. Screw that.

what are u gonna get out of a 8800 ultra when the 8800 gts/gtx can run anything and get u no lag

 

[Geoff]

I never thought i'd see another card priced as high as the 7800GTX 512MB upon release.... I guess I was wrong, lol.

Pain Relievers don't help a hurting wallet, ouch. That would certainly put a dent in a budget. I know who the target market for this is, the morons that think they know computers up and down, they buy a $6k Dell with this in it and say they own everyone. I just find that a tad funny. Ahh....maybe in a couple years, I will buy it, lol.
