GeForceFX 5800 Ultra DOA

[Gordon Moore]

from HardOCP:

GFFX Ultra No More:
As we noted here earlier this week, the GeForceFX 5800 Ultra will never make it to retail. Those of you that PreBuy the cards will still get an Ultra model with the FX Flow cooling unit. Those who don't will have the opportunity to get the non-Ultra version (400/800) off the retail shelves for a price of US$300.00. This information is unconfirmed at this time, but has been what we have been told repeatedly by different sources since Tuesday of this week.

Interesting....maybe there's problems with the hairdrying feature :?

Hearing a lot of this. Also stuff from several sources about the whole GF FX NV30 being limited to a production run of 100K, and then concentrating on cost down NV31 and NV35.
