Very sorry if this is already posted. I did a brief search for it kind of in a rush at the moment.

Im building a new system and want an up to date card going to SLI.

Good deal or spend more for something else? I dont mind spending more.

If you want to stay with NVidia that seems like a nice option. They do have one 9800GTX for $20 less though. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] CatId=3670

It seems the GTX260 prices are still over $300 after rebate, making the above two no-rebate options a better deal IMO.

Only thing with the Ultra is I'd expect adding a second later to limit you to used cards. If buying two now, that doesn't matter. But don't count on finding new well priced 8800U's for long if planning on adding that second card later. Same may happen for the 9800GTX, but availability should be longer lasting compared to the 8800U.

Interesting to see just how far the Ultra has dropped. Still, if you're going to pay that much, might as well spend $80 more for a 9800gx2 to blow away that Ultra. :p

Agreed on both points.

I went to Tiger's US site to see if it was cheaper for us, but no luck. I would have bought one for $150 just to own that legend for comparisons.

Tiger Canada has the 9800GX2 for $370 and up, the price of two 9800GTX. Doesn't seem like a bargain for them.
