The new ForceWare drivers have already disclosed Nvidia’s plans regarding the launch of the new product on G80 chipset that is known as GeForce 8800 Ultra. While the forum members were guessing if it would be a slower card than the GeForce 8800 GTS or an overclocked version of the GeForce 8800 GTX, NGOHQ site reported that according to some Nvidia’s partners GeForce 8800 Ultra would be launched together with the GeForce 8600, GeForce 8500, GeForce 8400 and GeForce 8300. In other words, on April 17, 2007.
GeForce 8800 Ultra will really be Nvidia’s response to ATI R600, however the specifications of the new cards haven’t been revealed yet. Most sources, however, believe that GeForce 8800 Ultra will run at higher clock speed than GeForce 8800 GTX and may feature GDDR-4 instead of GDDR-3 memory onboard with the corresponding frequency increase. However, even today Foxconn Company is already offering an overclocked GeForce 8800 GTX with GDDR-3 memory working at 2100MHz frequency. We dare suppose that they will select fast memory like GDDR-3 for the new GeForce 8800 Ultra as well.
Some Nvidia’s partners are also claimed to have promised to introduce an AGP version of the GeForce 7900 GS and GeForce 7950 GT solutions. In other words, XFX will no longer be the only Nvidia partner to offer graphics cards like that.

There have been reports about an 8800 version with more shaders, 160 in total. It should be the same chip as the GTX with 128 shaders. The extra logic is already there, just unused, or maybe waiting for better yields. This could be the new ultra. I fear it will be prohibitively expensive...

The R600 chip will be better than the G80 chip anyways, just by looking at the specs, all these features in the R600, like 65nm, this card just has more memory bandwidth to fill in that 74 GB/s vs that 148/GBs. I'm not worried about it, I will still be getting an R600, this is just Nvidias way of trying to close the gap a bit more. Which is what a company supposed to do, right?
This is starting to look like an 8900, but a kind of a card that's in between the 8800 and the 8900, it makes logical sense. The R600 will still hold the lead, it looks powerful enough to handle another card on them, and I still wonder how much this card will cost anyways.
This is going to be a huge DX10 battle next month man, you will have the high end cards battling eachother, the R600 will come in and stir the pot, then you will have mid-range and now that all R600's are 65nm, these companies are going to push eachother around.

R600 - pussy.
G80 - penis.
The pussy will be better than the penis anyways, just by looking at the specs, all these features in the pussy, like how tight it is, this sexual organ has more cum bandwidth to fill in that 74 cumloads/sec vs that 148 cumloads/sec. I'm not worried about it, I will still be getting a pussy, this is just a man's way of trying to close the gap a bit more. Which is what males are supposed to do, right?

I'm just waiting for ATi to give nVidia to launch midrange DX10 cards so nVidia can't keep a 8800GTX-only monopoly for the DX10 market.
