In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, Mark Hall ordered an army of
hamsters to type:

will it cost






no, and lots



patience, wait til they come out.
there will be ones from different card manufacturers, and they will all
differ in price by a bit, so some will be cheaper than others.

1 to 2 weeks; $499.99 but will be discounted by many online retailers.
Mid-June for the GT and Extreme.

An overclocked 6800 GT is almost as fast but only $399. The Ultra can be OCd
but not by as much as the GT so the GT ends up very close to the Ultra in
benchmarks even when the Ultra is overclocked.

-----------------GPU Speed/Memory Speed------------------

Ultra Extreme--------450/1100 DDR ($549.00 ?)
Ultra Extreme OCd--475/1250 - Compare this...

Standard Ultra------400/1100 ($499)

6800 GT--------------350/1000 ($399)
6800 GT OCd---------425/1200 - to this

Overclock the GT to a standard Ultra without breaking a sweat, for $100
less. All have 16 pipes.

Hardly the case. I got one in my brand new Voodoo system

I thought the 6800 WAS 12 pipelines and the ultras were the only ones with
16 pipes.
