That masters of the overclocked graphics card, EVGA, has been at it again, this time with Nvidia’s flagship GPU, the 8800 Ultra.

The Ultra features a silicon revision that gives better power usage and more headroom for overclocking, which it uses to increase core (612MHz), memory (1,080MHz) and shader (1,500MHz) clock speeds.

EVGA has tweaked each of these clock speeds even further. The Ultra Superclocked has a core clock of 655MHz with the shader clock running at 1,660MHz while the 768MB of GDDR3 memory races along at 1,125MHz.

With a length of 275mm it will only fit the biggest of cases.
