Arguably NVIDIA didn't need GeForce 8800 Ultra at all - the Radeon HD 2900 XT failed even to answer the performance question posed by GeForce 8800 GTS. So what do NVIDIA's partners do with 8800 Ultra when faced with that reality? Why, they overclock it, of course, and we're taking a close look at one example, the £520 eVGA 8800 Ultra KO.

The card we're testing is not a basic reference model, it's EVGA's top of the line part, the 8800 Ultra Superclocked. This is one of the fastest cards on the market, with yet further increases in clock speeds -- 650MHz on the core, and 2250MHz on the memory, so let's see if these extra clocks are worth the extra cash over the price of a GTX.

Getting back to EVGA's card and bundle, we think that it's a good product, but it's priced out of the grasp of most early adopters, nevermind the enthusiasts that regularly read bit-tech. It just doesn't offer enough value for money over EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 GTX Superclocked card, which is over £100 cheaper. This isn't uncommon for products based on Nvidia's GeForce 8800 Ultra GPU though, because the initial cards clocked at reference speeds were priced well out of the market too.

For those that don't know, the performance graphics card market is dominated by two rivals; ATI and nVidia. These two companies constantly play the game of "One Upmanship" with each other and recently it has been no different. As ATI released - after much delay - their HD 2900 series of cards, Nvidia brought to the market a hugely overclocked 8800GTX card, known as the Ultra. This card promised monster performance that would keep Nvidia as the performance king for that bit longer. Today I have the Superclocked version of this card from EVGA; lets see how it does.
