‘World’s fastest PC graphics card’ planned

Manufacturer NVIDIA has released details of a new graphics card it describes as ‘the world’s fastest’.

The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra is far from cheap, costing a bank-breaking £476, but should help gamers with a ‘money is no object’ attitude enjoy state-of-the-art PC games at their best.
