In my opinion, I think eVGA is selling these cards for a low low price because: 1. These limited edition cards did fail the 6800U stress test (but I don't think there is any serious failure on these cards), and eVGA just want to grab some cash for covering the cost of manufactoring them. 2. eVGA...

1 month old thermaltake 420W PSU, was running it with a 9800SE hardmod to 9800XT, tons of power related problem; boot lock, LAN freeze, you name it. The PSU was running fine with the 9800SE, but once the card got moded and flashed (opened up all 8 pipelines), problems appears. Once I switch to...

I was running a Thermaltake 420W PSU, and that's no good for this card. I think you will need a solid 450W+ PSU to run this card. I am now running a Thermaltake 480W PSU w/Active PFC (for $70 @ zipzoomfly, I really think this is a a good deal for $70, especially it's a Active PFC PSU [constant...

Just want to let you guys know that before I flashed my card to 6800U, I had tons of problems with the original bios; 3Dmark03 and 05 crashed @ 380/1100, my LAN crashed/disconnected when I was playing BF1942 (@stock 325/1100 setting). I thought it was my PSU (Thermaltake 480 w/active PFC). But...

Ok. Here is how I did it; first, go get the nvflash 5.10 from http://www.guru3d.com/newsitem.php?id=1998, then get the lastest eVGA 6800 Ultra bios from http://www.mvktech.net/index.p...older&filecatid=51 (there are Rev.1-4 eVGA 6800U bios available to download there, but I used the latest...

Folks, I just flash my 6800 Limited edition to the regular Ultra. I used nvflash 5.10 and eVGA 6800 Ultra Rev.04 bios. The card is running @ 425/1101 now, with 54C idle and 71 loaded. Through the process of flashing the bios, I learned that the hardware ID of this card is 0040, which is the 6800...

Well, if any of you guys looking for a 2D/3D fan control, look no further; use Gainward's expertool (free download @ gainward.com). It is a VGA OC utility with seperate 2D/3D fan control, and will work with the eVGA Limited Edition nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Video Card. Here is the link for the...

I am thinking maybe the card is designed for running @ 400mhz core, downclocked to 325 actually chokes it a bit, so the temp goes up to 54. I am now running this card @ 380/1150, with 49C idle, and 58C loaded(running Doom3 @ 1280X1024 with Ultra high quality). One question: has anybody here...

Well, This is my first post. I bought the 6800 limited edition from newegg last week, and got it yesterday. I OCed it to 350/1100 from the first min I installed it, and burned it overnight without any problem. Today, I decided to put some AC5 on this card (since I really like the stock heatsink...
