EVGA e-GeForce 8800 Ultra Superclocked review @ bit-tech.net
 
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.

At least the price has come down a little bit, but we can't help but
feel it needs to come down further still. The reference clocked GeForce
8800 Ultras start at around £470 (inc VAT) now, but we don't believe
that the minuscule performance between it and EVGA's Superclocked 8800
GTX warrants a £50 price premium - £20 would be more acceptable in our
book. As for EVGA's heavily overclocked GeForce 8800 Ultra that we've
looked at here, we think that it needs to come down below £500 before
it's going to be an attractive proposition.

The current pricing structure just places it in the bracket for those
with more money than sense. A shame, because that's about the only thing
wrong with this product.
