Aparrently the rumors earlier this week were true, Nvidia told the production facility to halt production at 100,000 units. [H]ardOcp confirms this, evidently BestBuy is no longer taking preorders. I guess they figured there was no point releasing a card that cost $100 more than a 9700pro and barely outperfoms it, also with the upcoming of release of the R350 core from ATI, seems this card was dead even before it was released.
As we noted here earlier this week, the GeForceFX 5800 Ultra will never make it to retail. Those of you that PreBuy the cards will still get an Ultra model with the FX Flow cooling unit. Those who don't will have the opportunity to get the non-Ultra version (400/800) off the retail shelves for a price of US$300.00. This information is unconfirmed at this time, but has been what we have been told repeatedly by different sources since Tuesday of this week.
