Runs hot, and noisy fan.

Interesting read. I have the 1st release PNY Ultra (bios .13) and have never had a single issue. Seems they say the latest bios reduces performance by relaxing timings. I am rather sceptible about the bios being an issue since there are so many people NOT having problems with older bios.

Basically what this proves is Nvidia's stock design isn't really as bad as many claim. Why BFG would put a aftermarket cooler on the GT when they know its going to run even hotter is beyond me.

Keep coughing, and don't worry about it. :rolleyes:

LOL....HL2 isn't here. Doom, however is, and that's Valve's loss. I personally believe HL2 will be somewhat of a let down because it's so late it (graphically) will be lacking compared to the new stuff coming out.

Guys, be sure to pull the stickers on your fans. Many have posted in the forums, with issues. The stickers are falling off while the card is running. In some cases, it became lodged in the fan, causing it to stop. One person smoked his card this way. I looked at my Ultra, and the PNY...

The XT has been cancelled, sorry :mad:

RMA your card. My Ultra is very quiet. Runs 51c (2D) and 72c (3D)

Sounds like a bunch of Bull to me :rolleyes:

Just enter the bios (hold the Delete key) and turn it off.

I've seen one person over on the NV-News forum that got a BFG version of the card. He ended up having nothing but problems. Basically he was not able to run the card at standard extream settings. He ended up downclocking the card about 10MHz then it was running ok. The funny thing is my PNY...

The GT's are everwhere. You can dream, or simply play now.

Forget the 800 Pro, and go for the GT.

If you guys can hear your 6800's that much then there is something wrong. I have 4 fans in my case, and I cannot hear my Ultra at all. It runs 51c / 72c @ full load.

Just think, I got my Ultra a month ago for $499 at www.pny.com

Well since I am the one who origionally came up with the procedure described by the person who started this thread (I posted it 1st over on the NVnews forum), I can tell you my temps of 51 / 72c are accurate. When I 1st used the procedure to see what my Ultra was doing, I was running much...

51c 72c

From Tom's hardware

OK, just want to make a correction. The above statement is not correct. All latest benchmarks are showing otherwise. Please ignore this misinformation.

Well that makes a difference :) I don't remember reading where you had it overclocked, maybe I missed it. Glad you have it working.

Depends on the quality of the power supply.

Too low there Dude (saw ya on that other forum :) ). You need a good quality 400W.

What is it with you guys? SM.S. 3.0 is for our benefit, and it's a good thing. Lets just purchase the games we like and enjoy.

Yes you will hit 450/1.2 My Pny-6800-Ultra hit that without issue :)

Yes PNY reference card.

450/1.2 here, no problem :cool:

Door open = no air flow = hot card Door close = air flow = cooler card Door closed / with lack of air flow = card runs the same as door off = hot card :) It is late, I agree, but tomorrow off :)

Got mine 3 weeks ago :) sorry to rub it in :)

Well, that is the point I'm trying to make. The case should make a difference. The fact that you report that it is not, tells me you have less then optimal air-flow in-and-out of your case.

When running the tool, my Ultra goes to 72c at 75 degree (f) room temp. My ambiant monitor goes up as well. The key here is to pull your case cover off. I suspect if you do your GPU temp will go down slightly. This would indicate a lack if case air flow. When I pull my cover I go from 72c...

Link works now, but nobody is excited about these, so I will hang onto the 61.71 for my Ultra.

Nvidia spent in excess of $400,000,000 to develop the N40, so I don't mind paying $499 for my 6800 Ultra. If you want the bleeding edge GPU and DDR3 you have to pay. Nvidia and ATI spend a big chunk of there profits developing their next GPU.

Dead link.

Actually it was at 400 / 1.0

Here's my 3dmark03 score :) http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2673278

www.pny.com = $499 (out of stock though)

Trust me, its not dead in the water :)

6800 Ultra, delivered and running well :)

The 6800 Ultra is very quiet. It IS NOT equivalent to 3 case fans :p
