Yay, Ultra arrives!

Well the wait was worth it.

My 265 quid ultra arrived yesterday and is running sweet as a nut. I have no idea on how much this baby can be clocked though.. I currently have it running @ 650/1600/2250 but get the feeling it can go higher. Temps max out at about 70 degrees with ATI tool and the like.

Any tips?

265? nice one

A max temp of 70 is good. Full load? If so, plenty of headroom there. Go on, crank it up

Nice buy. 70 seems a little high for thos clocks, although i have my fan running at 100% all the time. You should be able to get a lot more out of it tho on the core and shader

70 is not that high, they idle at high 50's low 60's and dont get much hotter on load.

70c is spot on, if anything its low

nice price!

650 core is good start. My GTX bottles out at 630 which isn't that great. Might have to improve the cooling a bit I think

Not a bad deal at all, especially for the very fastest card on the market right now. 70 degrees is fine, mine are 60-62 at idle.

helmutcheese · 23 Dec 2007 at 21:52

Jesus, my card is £505 now (not that I even paid that much in Sep 2007.) :eek:

Yeah, all I'm gonna say is always buy in US Dollars right now.

The MAXXIS notepad is from where I work. (they are a tyre brand)

Didn't know they did car products too, thought it was only biking!

I was a bit un-impressed when I first read the thread, I assumed you'd typo'd and ment to say you'd got a 256MB Ultra for a knock down price.

Having woken up a bit more & looked at the photo, wow!

I'm impressed! :cool:

Oc/UK's cheapest ultra costs £375.99Inc! :eek:

Gibbo needs to move to the US me thinks......................

Why they would still sell it for 375.

I got a EVGA AC3 from the US when they first came out.

Yer lovely and cheap then 2 weeks later got an import tax bill form fedx for 19% + a charge, I wasnt happy and it was not worth it.
