Today, we have a look at the first of a couple of pre-overclocked GeForce 8800 Ultras to grace our labs. There's no question that EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 Ultra Superclocked is one of the fastest cards we've ever tested, but is it worth buying?

DougEdey · 31st May 2007, 15:36

I think that may be the lowest value score you have ever given. Well deserved

Krikkit · 31st May 2007, 15:55

Definately well-deserved, £540 for a card that isn't really much faster than the GTX is absolutely ridiculous imho. Alright you've got the bragging rights of "fastest on the planet", but even so, is it worth the price?

What psu do you use for the GTX SLi setup?

DXR_13KE · 31st May 2007, 16:15

that is a 1000$ graphic card...... and consumes power like hell.... srem these guys, i want them cheaper and less power consuming.

Now you just need to pursuade EVGA to send you a Black Pearl edition 8800

Single slot stupidly fast cards cheesecake!!

I want to see some evga superclocked 8800 ultras in sli! Kinda curious about the fps you would get with that.

pendragon · 31st May 2007, 18:14

I tried, it left a mess

g3n3tiX · 31st May 2007, 22:10

So when are we seeing a Black pearl review ? (eVGA 8800 Ultra WC'ed for those who didn't know)

A behemoth of a card the superclocked Ultra, that's what I think.

tech3312 · 31st May 2007, 23:58

The price is very high but it packs a punch and make it beautiful i perfer the EVGA KO Series

Veles · 1st Jun 2007, 00:42

Bloody hell thats one pricey card, it'll probably cost you another £500 a month in leccy bills to power the thing as well XD

completemadness · 1st Jun 2007, 02:03

this thing costs more then a modest computer, or 1/2 a decent gaming rig

i really don't see why anyone wants it, isn't it just an overclocked GTX, why not just buy the GTX and overclock it

Ahh, but its not. It's an overclocked ULTRA. Very important difference you know.

This was how much I wanted to spend on my computer, and now they release a card just as expensive... Way to immasculate me EVGA.

EVGA will throw in a FREE 680i LT mobo with this or any of their 8800 Ultra cards.

Cheers Tim, I was wondering how the 620HX was classed as SLi but I assume the GTS only needs one 6pin PCI-E power connector?

./^\.Ace./^\. · 8th Jun 2007, 02:34

I don't know if I would want that

is it really worth the price tag
