One of my 6800 ultra's has just died on me and am wondering where i stand ....thay are about a year old and am wondering what the warranty situation is ? plus would i be able to get another ultra? this is worrying as they wern't cheep when i got them !!!!!
 
Thing is are there still ultras available as i will need an exact match for it to utilise SLi It was an overclockers purchase and they dont do ultras anymore !
 
stigggeh ......thats a thought! although i smelt burning and when i looked the screen had gone off and there was no fan movement on the said gfx card looked to be totaly dead but saying that it would solve a lot of problems if they could repair it on the other hand if they replace it with a 7800GT i could always sell the good ultra on MM and buy a match for the 7800!! i have the puter running on one ultra atm :(

sorted....... overclockers have offered a refund on the defective one but that doesn't really help me as they dont produce the ultra anymore so i have a single ultra in my mobo, looks like a upgrade is in the pipeline any idea's as to a good upgrade SLi, my ultra's was giving me 10,895 in 3dmark05 will two GTX 7800 give me a large enough increase to warrant the expence of upgrading ? or should i wait?
 
Thanks for your input .....just to clarify, x1900xt will be just a little slower than two SLi'd GTX's????

i seriously doubt it would be a full refund for the original card- warenty will usually take into account depreciation when a cash refund is given
The refund is for what the card last sold for, not what i paid for it!!
