Flagship Sinks:
nVidia’s newest flagship graphics chip, the GeForceFX 5800 Ultra, will not ship after all. Despite the fact that it failed to prove itself as an ATI-killer, the premier card required powerful cooling, that simply makes it just too loud to bear. The non-Ultra version of the card will still be made available though.
After seeing the [H]ard|OCP preview for it, I knew that I’d be sticking to my plans to support Canada’s ATI, by picking up the much cheaper, faster Radeon 9700 Pro to throw in my new system in a few months time.
