"Ed: Sort of."

What/why? I am not a computer hardware enthusiast, so I guess I would like a little explanation of the remark. Do you mean that higher clock speed capability isn't a good thing?

Which card would the editor choose and why?

Thanks.

Here's the comment in its full context for reference:

"Taking a look from a few steps back, on the other hand, this card is capable of clocks higher than an 8800 Ultra, and that's something to be proud of. (Ed: Sort of.)"

Basically, the 8800 Ultra is a joke of a card, so I was poking fun at it.

@Kurtis

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that the 8800 Ultra was crap.

Thanks again for explaining.

The problem with the 8800 Ultra is that the price / performance ratio is just a little absurd. There is no competitor to the Ultra right now from AMD/ATI but I don't think AMD/ATI is losing any sleep over that fact. :)
