Excellent card, but not the best bang-for-buck.
Dramatic video processing power, runs cooler than an otherwise comparable 8800GTX, EVGA lifetime warranty.
HUGE -- will not fit in a lot of computer cases; incremental cost may not be worth it.
Posted Nov 15, 2007 - I upgraded to this video card after switching form an SLI-chipset motherboard (680i-based) to a non-SLI board (P35-based), and selling the two 8800GTS cards that had occupied the SLI configuration (roughly paying for this single 8800 Ultra). To compare, as a single card this 8800Ultra doesn't benchmark quite as well as the 2x8800GTS cards (e.g. a lower 3DMark06 score), but in non-benchmarking applications (where the SLI-config becomes noticably CPU and chipset limited), the single 8800Ultra provide performance on par or better. The card is huge, not fitting some and barely most other ATX-spec cases due to location of front drive bays. The plus is that the size of the card accomodates a mammoth heat-sink apparatus, and the card runs cooler than an 8800GTX in the same rig by 5-6C. (However, adding a Thermalight HR-11 cooler was a lot less expensive way of bringing down the temps by roughly the same amount, and allows for a moderate overclock that will put a GTX onto about par with the Ultra for significantly less money -- of course if you're willing to forego the manufacturer's warranty by doing so). Overall, I'm quite happy with my decision to go to a single 8800Ultra over the 2x8800GTS in SLI mode, but a lot of buyers may not find the cost of the 800Ultra to be worth it over the 8800GTX -- at least until the next generation of cards/chipsets pushes the price difference closer together).
