The 8800 Ultra Superclocked

The card itself is huge; in every way. It's as long as a normal GTX but the cooler has a massive shroud that makes this card over an inch thick.

The cooler on the Ultra is pretty much the same as the normal GTX cooler but is slightly extended to draw air over the PWM area. This helps the Ultra reach the frequencies that it can as the PWM area can get surprisingly hot and once it hits a certain temperature can cause instability.

Above the fan is a shiny EVGA logo:

At the rear of the card you can see the exhaust area of the card and the twin DVI ports all painted black; looks pretty hot. As you can see with a cooler this size it is most definately dual slot.

The back of the Ultra is peppered with screws to hold the monstrous cooler on. This should allow for plenty of customisation with aftermarket coolers should they be made. The back also allows you to get a proper look at the black PCB; it looks fantastic when set against a black PCB motherboard such as the Asus P5W-DH Deluxe.

At the front end of the card there are the power connectors; that's right twin 6pins like the standard GTX, no 8pins yet. Although this could prove a problem for those with older power supplies EVGA thought of this and provided molex to 6pin converters for even those without any 6pins.

The Ultra also has two SLI bridges which leaves open the option for tri-SLI at a later stage should it be supported.
