Nada de placas rodando a 475 ou qualquer coisa do tipo....
algumas empresas é que vão lançar modelos em overclock rodando a 450mhz...mas vão custar a bagatela de 599$ ou mais, como o modelo da gainward
Delivering the Speed at Any Price? NVIDIA Says “No!”
To fight the recently released ATI RADEON X800-series that demonstrate higher performance in certain cases compared to the GeForce 6800 Ultra, some partners of NVIDIA are said to release a higher-speed flavour of the GeForce 6800 Ultra chip that is known under the “GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme” name across the web. The new version of the product will contain no new capabilities, but will bring a little bit higher performance. According to certain sources, the “Ultra Extreme” will be clocked at 450MHz/1100MHz for chip/memory in contrast to 400MHz/1100MHz speeds for the “Ultra” version.
“There is lots of confusion going on. NVIDIA is not launching anything new. NVIDIA does not have a product called the “GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme,” an NVIDIA spokesman told X-bit labs on Thursday.
But the price of the novelty with bolstered performance will be high even for extreme gamers. They say that the so-called GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme will retail for incredible $599, a price-point that is new even for high-end graphics cards.
“However some of our partners are discovering that a percentage of the parts we are shipping will run faster than this, 450MHz, for example. So there will only be a GeForce 6800 Ultra that can run faster but it is the same part and will have the same name,” the representative of the Santa Clara, California-based graphics company explained.
Only selected number of NVIDIA’s add-in card partners are expected to offer the overclocked GeForce 6800 Ultra products. It is not clear whether the SKU will be available widely or should be pre-ordered in some way.
