ELSA Gladiac ULTRA
The Quest for Excessive Performance
By Hilbert Hagedoorn
Incredible, what a huge amount of different
GeForce
videocards have hit the shelves lately ! It is really amazing how NVIDIA is saturating the market at present
with a videocard
for basically any budget. When we go to the stores we can find the
cheap TNT videocard, the faster TNT2, true games go for a GeForce256 or GeForce
256 with DDR memory. If that isn't enough you can always buy the terrific
GeForce2 MX. Serious gamers who don't mind spending some money of course go for
a GeForce2 GTS. If that isn't fast enough for you then you'll be happy to know
that there will be a PRO version available also. Yes, that one is
actually a standard GeForce2 GTS equipped with faster DDR memory.

But what
product is available for the ultimate gaming freak ? What is the fastest
consumer videocard to date for people who don't have to watch their wallets ? Indeed, the GeForce2 ULTRA is now available and we
got our grubby little paws on the second Ultra that we have tested here in the
Guru cave, that's something like Batman's Batcave ! However, we refuse to dress
in rubber and don't wear
capes.
This time
we'll take a closer look at the ELSA's Gladiac Ultra based upon NVIDIA's
GeForce2 Ultra Graphics Processing Unit.
