NVIDIA 8800 Ultra specifications
Looks like theinq has leaked the latest specifications of the 8800 Ultra which is supposed to be announced on 1st May. Availability is 15 May.
This card, priced at $999 is merely an overclocked 8800GTX as we proposed earlier. The only difference is the clk speed and memory speed which seems to be different.
According to them, the GPU is not clocked to 675MHz, as some official documents from the past were stating, but rather a very conservative 612MHz, a 37MHz clock boost. The clock of 128 scalar units has been raised from 1.35GHz to 1.50 and memory is set at 2.16GHz instead of 1.80GHz, raising the memory bandwidth from 86.4GB/s to 103.68GB/s, still a couple of gigabytes short of upcoming Radeon HD 2900XT, with its 105.60GB/s.
Looks like it is not difficult to achieve a 8800 Ultra from your existing 8800GTX. In fact our ASUS EN8800GTX AQUATANK already runs at 630/1030 (2060) from the factory. Looks like everyone out there who already owns a 8800GTX is already a 8800Ultra owner, you just need a voltage increase . There you have it!
