Should i step up to the Ultra from GT

[Regulator07]

right now i got the 6800 gt pci-e and since i paid $435 for it, i could upgrade to the ultra for $65. think it is worth it or should i not bother?

 

[exar333]

have u tried OCing it to ultra speeds? or do you want to run at strock with your GPU? likely you could hit close to ultra with that GT...

yeah it oc's fine to above ultra speeds, although i dont run it at that, i run at stock

 

[trinibwoy]

I wouldn't.

you need to think- eventually - about selling it and it's resale value

i'd be thinking about the followin two points:

will it be "worth" $65 more then? [no idea - but doubtful]

will there be a substantial performance increase? [not likely]

You decide.

You've got a good card. Stick with it and save the money.

I would upgrade. The ultra has the better PCB board with two molex connectors etc. It is just cooler. You won't notice the speed difference, though

no way, hang onto the gt for now and put the $65 towards your next card. you can already achieve ultra speeds yet you don't feel the need to even use it.

yup...keep the GT...since u said u can OC it to ultra speeds it would be useless paying $65 for the ultra. save it n buy a good fan for ur card or for the next gen cards soon 2 be out.

 

[vinayb]

you have a potential ultra with a single slot, less cooling needing card right now. Ultra is a no-no... use that extra slot for cooling the card instead

 

[Corporate Thug]

keep the GT, the performance increase is not noticable to warrent they upgrade

Said perfectly.

Is less than a .05% difference in performce that noticable?

I'd spend the money on beers and a cheap hooker.

j/k
