Title: 512mb 6800 Ultra
Post by: gnubee on April 23, 2005, 06:00:29 PM

Hey all... just an FYI-

I was over at cyberpower pc looking at what I would like for my new gaming pc... and low and behold they have the 512mb 6800 Ultra availiable....

oooh la la.

Any thoughts on this bad boy?  Any news about when ATI will respond in kind?

Just when I think I know what I want in a PC the rules of the game change... :lol :lol

Here's another question...
How would the performance of this graphics card compare to an SLI with 2x 256mb cards?  Any speculation?  Or has anyone found a review out there in the ether yet?  I've done some searches but can't seem to come across any info.

I've been snoopin' around over there too.
Only $850 a piece, imagine 2 of them in SLI...yikes!!!

Only problem with SLI is it treats 2x256mb as 2x256mb cards not a combined 500mb, so the comparison doesn't work.
