    Are the 7800GTX and the 7800 Ultra the same thing?

    i bought the m170 XPS and the website says it comes with the 7800GTX. But in my order detail it says I am getting the 7800Ultra.

    Just want to make sure I am getting the right/best card.

    Thanks for your input!

    They're talking about the same thing - Dell just names the cards differently for some odd reason. Perhaps they appear that way on the ordering sheet.
