With such aggressively clocked memory and a 250MHz GPU, the GLADIAC Ultra needs some extra cooling. ELSA gave the GPU a heat sink/fan combo that is a bit different from the combo on our early NVIDIA Ultra reference board but seems to work just as well. It also has an NVIDIA sticker on it and is larger than the first heat sink/fan combo, so it may be even better. There is also one heat sink each across the two separate four-chip memory banks. All of the heat sinks are in a color that we like to call, "Kermit green."

The GLADIAC Ultra comes with the 3D Revelator 3D glasses. These glasses use alternating polarizing lenses coupled with two alternating offset images on screen (calculated from the Z-buffer) to give more 3D depth to your computer screen. It can actually seem like things are coming out of the screen. The 3D Revelator glasses have a cool effect and, since they use infrared instead of wires to synchronize the polarization, they do not tether you to your system.

Just about the coolest feature of ELSA's GeForce2 GTS and Ultra video cards, other than 3D speed of course, is their ability to add their VIVO module. VIVO stands for video-in, video-out, and adds both a TV-out as well as video digitizing capabilities to your ESLA GeForce2 Ultra. While the VIVO module is not available yet, it should be coming soon and will run for about $40. We love this feature because it gives you the option to upgrade without having to replace your entire card.
