Does such a thing exist?

I found what appears to be a Winfast 3D S320 II Ultra for PCI bus (5.5ns EliteMT 32MB SGRAM), but I can find absolutely no mention of such a thing existing.

Strangely the sticker mentions AGP 2X/4X support, so initially I assumed foul play...however, the chips on the card are indeed 5.5ns, and it PCB layout appears to match up well with the AGP version. The card also does not have the model name silkscreened like most Winfast cards.

My Asus gf2 GTS has 6ns memory chips.
My Hercules GF2 PRO has 5,5ns memory chips.
My Asus GF2 Ti has 5ns memory chips.
My Creative GF2 Ultra has 4ns memory chips (according to an article about it the Leadtek GF2 Ultra also has 4ns chips).

So it is a very nice pci card but not exactly an ultra?

The memory on a stock TNT2 Ultra runs at 183MHz so 5.5ns should be fine.

Remember, this is a TNT2, not a Geforce 2.

Testing will have to wait. I'm in the middle of selling my home, and the new place requires extensive modelling.

The ASUS V3800 manual mentions a PCI Ultra card on the first page.
As I've recently acquired a regular non-Ultra PCI-V3800, I admit that the PCI-V3800U might also exist in the wild, althought unobtainable.

I would gladly trade my AGP TNT2 Pro 32MB for a PCI version, as my main retro PC doesn't have a AGP slot. 🙁

OOOOPS! my bad....

Checked my TNT2 cards and the v3800 ultra Agp has 5ns memory but the Diamond v770 ultra Agp has 5,5ns memory so yeah you guys are right and it qualifies as an ultra.
