Did your GT reach Ultra specs?

For the purposes of the poll, Ultra specs = 400/1100. Ultra Extreme = 450/1200. Should give everyone an idea of what to expect.

im not sure really. i ran the auto detect, and it said 600/1.4 but i've not really tried it cause my cpu is the big bottleneck right now.

auto dectect isnt very accurate sometimes

to achieve 1.4 ghz on the mem you would need 1.4ns ram

My eVGA reached 400/1100 with ease. Havent pushed for Extreme speeds. I don't want to wreck my card like I did my 9800 which I cannot sell.

425/110 so far.... finding out I get different results with different drivers. I was using ati the last couple of years and forgot about the deluge of beta drivers you get with Nvidia. I had tried the 61.80's but had problems with BF 1942. Recently switched to the WHQL 61.72 and they fixed that problem.... only seem slower. Will try the new 62.01 this weekend and see what kind of overclock I get with them. Also found that the auto detect oc gives you higher values on a card that hasn't already been heated up in gaming and you can usually get higher values than what it tells you.

It's more heavily weighted in favor of reaching ultra speeds now, and as one voter obviously participated in the palm beach, Fl. 2000 presidential election :p only one hasn't made it with either core or ram. Meanwhile 3 claim ultra extreme and 5 made it with core only. I'd say that makes it a safe bet most will reach ultra speeds, especially if their board has AGP lock as most here overclock.

420/1.19 is the highest I've gone and I get artifiacts after a couple hours if my room is above 80F. I just stick with 400/1.1 for now.

Yeah, it is. I do have somewhat of a hard time believing the UE people, but I put the option in anyway. I guess they are on water and have major ramsinks though.

In anycase 75% chance is decent.
