I'm getting tired of everyone posting deals for the single DVI version of this card. Dangit, gimme dual dvi!

 

[CrackRabbit]

I see this as a good sign, hopefuly more retailers will start dropping prices back to MSRP or below

GameVE is pretty good, I ordered a P4C800 Deluxe when they first came out from them and they got it to me very quickly.

Then go find it yourself.


Great find OP, just bought one for a customer and paid over 4 for it... Wish I had seen this coming a few days ago.

I'm not sure if this is in response to my post or not, but I was looking for a dual dvi version (which the PNY doesn't have).

Cheapest I can find it still over MSRP for it.

OOS, people like me whose nearest BM Compusa is over 120 miles away might find this ok.

I do not want to use a third party bios on my card but are saying I would have to? Check out this thread.

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&postid=3055234#post3055234

My bios version is 5.40.02.10.04. In the forum someone who just got his card is running Bios version 5.40.02.15.04. There are apparently known issues with the 6800 ultras with older bios that upgrading past 5.40.02.10.14 fix. So let me recap my original question where can I get the updated bios? I tried connecting to ftp.xfxforce.com site but it does not allow anonymous connections. I can get the NVFlash utility at several places but I would prefer to have the latest bios from XFX. I think it would be stupid to fix the lockup issues I would have to RMA the card just to get a bios update.



Thanks,

Granamere

Dear customer:

This unit does not need firmware/Bios update because it does not have it. All you can do is update the drivers from www.nvidia.com.

How do I get a firmware/Bios update for my 6800 Ultra card from you?



Thanks,

Granamere, your post is one reason I did not choose XFX, not to mention they only offer a 2 year warranty (from what I can tell).

 

[Schadenfroh]

wow, they actually write back to their customer's emails? asus never did that for me........ had to call them to get RMA and was on hold 45 minutes before getting someone who could barely speak english.
