This morning NVIDIA has rolled out the latest GPU in the GeForce 8 series, the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra. The new Ultra GPU is slated to be 10 to 15% faster over the current flagship GeForce 8800GTX. The GeForce 8800 Ultra is equipped with 768MB of video memory, 128 stream processors, 612MHz core clock, and 2160MHz effective memory clock. Product availability is scheduled for May 15 with a price tag of approximately $829 USD. The current NVIDIA Linux and Solaris display drivers do not support the GeForce 8800 Ultra, but you can expect new display drivers surfacing later this month. Head on over to NVIDIA's Press Room for the G80 Ultra press release.
