Overpriced [Posted on 2007-12-18]
This card is decent but not great. I found that the ultra edition is somewhat overrated. For the price, you only get maybe 5% boost from the GTX model and the GT model is almost $240 dollar cheaper and it runs about %8 slower but 10-15 C* cooler. This card is huge! If you don't have a good airflow computer case i would recommend you getting one of those pci slot fan if not your computer is just going to be a heater.
Big performance, bigger price, even bigger heat. [Posted on 2008-05-09]
Good performance, 8800 Ultra line is pretty solid even still.
The downside to these cards is the price, and the ABSOLUTELY ABSURD amount of heat they generate. If you do not intend to go with a aftermarket cooling solution (waterblock) be prepared for one or both of them to turn themselves into a very expensive paperweight after awhile under heavy load.
nVidia as usually is pretty spotty on drivers. SLI generally is...troublesome at best to get functioning properly for some or most games.
