Three-Way SLI Will Not Work on G92 8800GTS
While the G92-based 8800GTS is on track for a December 11th release, and NVIDIA three-way SLI will be released at a similar time, neither will be compatible with the other. It would seem as though NVIDIA is trying to keep three-way SLI an exclusive club for the more expensive offerings from the graphics giant. At this point, only the 8800GTX and 8800Ultra are confirmed to work with three-way SLI, and there is the possibility that the 8800GT will be able to use three-way SLI. While three-way SLI may be possible through software rendering at some later point in time, chances are it will be slow and buggy. The main giveaway for the lack of three-way SLI is the lack of a second SLI bridge connector on the 8800GT.

Its a bit of a cop out by nvidia Imo, they know that the $800 GTX/Ultra cards are not going to sell, because of the better performance and price of having 2 mid range cards, ie. GT, GTS etc...
Whinging aside, I can't wait to see some benchies with 3 ultra's churning away!!! :)

The new GTS was never mentioned to be supportive.
Ultra remains because of resolution and TRI-SLI.
