Inevitably, the 6 monthly product launch cycle of graphics chipsets have largely out-ridden its accompanying software development cycle. In fact, just after the launch of the GF2 Ultra chipset, Nvidia had already announced the beta testing of its successor, the GF3.

Coupled with 4ns of uncompromising 64MB DDR memory, the Gladiac Ultra certainly contends favourably for its claim of the "World's Fastest Gamer's Board".
