I can get a XFX Geforce 8800 ultra 768mb DDR3 for 200$ , is this a good deal?

Also where does the 8800ultra scale against all the other cards ( such as 8800gts/8800gt/280gtx and ect.)

appreciate any help

I think the HD4850 beats the 8800 ultra and its cheaper too

EDIT: The ultra beats the other '8800s' , but the GTX280 beats it, but i woudnt bother with it, its too expensive for now.

the 8800 ultra does not beat the 8800gt ocx... the ocx is actually faster, but the 8800 ultra has more ram, and the 4850 does not beat it either., it is in the same league and on some games better, some games worse, but actually beat umm no, same for the 4870 as well.

For that price you should get a HD4850 or a 9800GTX+

Ultra is easily faster then any kind of 8800GT.

hmm its really preference just i wouldnt recommend getting any kind of X2 or GX2 card with multiple GPU on one card. other than that, its your choice.

Not in high resolutions and with some AA and AF applied. And probably not in lower ones either.

Does BFG have any benchmarks to back that up? Cause that is BS. And even if by some chance it would outperform it, that is an OC'ed 8800GT, you don't think the 8800GTX/Ultra can be OC'ed also?

You do realize that the 8800Ultra is a 8800GTX just with higher clock speeds right?

not sure if they do or not.. dont know, dont work there, im just telling you what they said, either way... to the TC any of the 8800 series of GPU would be a good buy for now..
