http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=322699

What is this? A failed Ultra? I am very confused, I have heard that they are failed ultras and are 12pipe? And I have also heard that evga was just testing the market so they put these out and they are ultras? Anyone have any info on it? Evga doesn't have it anywhere on thier site, but zipzoomfly is not the only company that sells it.

 

It is a NV40 core with only 12 pipes and slower clock speed

 

that should be an 8 pipe part

6800LE - 8 pipe
6800 - 12 pipe
6800GT/U - 16 pipe

if you can afford it id suggest going for a GT, or at the very least a normal 6800

you would think that "limited edition" is a good thing, but unfortunately not
its like the "SE" ATI cards, they sound good, but in reality they are the bottom end of the range

 

This is not a normal LE card, I was already aware out the 6800series (what you just said, thatnks anywayz tho). Ive heard from some people that htese cards actually **** with 16 pipes (not 12 like zipzzomfly sayZ). I also have heard that the orig cards shipped with 16 to get up hype for the card and then they moved to 12. Anyone have any more info on the card? Can I softmod to 16pipe easily or what? NEED INFO!
