Gaming @ 1920x1200

The Ultra is just an overclocked GTX on a slightly newer revision of silicon - the difference is NOT NOT NOT worth the extra $100. Just overclock your GTX to match the Ultra, and buy an extra 2gb of RAM... or a stronger processor... or just save it for later. :)

If your goal is the highest OC possible the Ultra is worth the money. For a time there the price difference was all of $50. It might not be worth it to you, but to some others, it is worth it.
 
lol my Gtx does better than Ultra stock speeds. Don't pay more for the Ultra.

But the ultra will OC better than your OCed speeds, and run cooler ;)

Its worth the price if you have the extra cash for it, when they first came out they were way to expensive, but they have fallen (or did, dunno if they went back up) in price.
 
unless the ultra is within $50 of the GTX, take the GTX.

Over here we're getting screwed for ultra prices, sometimes >$150.

Doesn't make sense to spring for an ultra when here I can get a GTX for $519, but then see the ultra priced for $811 from the same damn store...

actually since buying my card, the same store has jacked up the GTX to $619... ughhhh
 
yeah I paid $500 for mine and it runs 62C load so thanks I think I got a decent deal lol.
 
From NewEgg right now:

Cheapest GTX (AR): $479
Cheapest Ultra (AR): $549

I'd go for regular GTX in most cases atm.

Source?

And why would nvidia swap back to 512/1gb when they were using the other bus/memory design?

Get an eVGA GTX or ULTRA.Look at my sig.... My GTS is a A2 revision and ocs ok,great fast card.But,if I was to buy now,I'd go Ultra (on sale).

You could also look at it this way: If you buy 2 Ultras or GTXs now you could use Step Up on both of them and sell the second new high-end card for a considerable premium while they're still rare and difficult for most to come by... or keep both and have an even more badass setup.

except when you step-up to something like that you get put on a waiting list

Still likely to get it before the demand dies down. Won't be able to sell an 8800 Ultra for $600 in 4 months, but you'll be able to sell a 9800 GTX for at or very near to MSRP a few weeks after release... so you effectively had the second Ultra for like, $20, for 4 months. I'd rent a second GTX for $5 a month if I could.... sounds like a great idea to me.

Exactly, and while you are on the waiting list, you still have your card. You don't send it in until they have your replacement ready to ship out.
