Often, when reviewing hardware, it is difficult to draw a hard line and state with total confidence that our conclusions are the only logical ones that can be drawn from the facts. We try very hard to eliminate personal opinion from our reviews and provide readers with enough information to form their own well educated opinions. We try to point out the downsides of the best products out there, as well as the niche uses for which otherwise disappointing hardware might shine. So often our job is about balance and temperance.
But not this time: The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra is an utter waste of money.

I wonder if the tone of the review's conclusion had anything to do with this thread? http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=31&threadid=2038370
Anandtech certainly grew some brass testicles with that review.
