Yo Sexninja!!!!

I picked up a PNY Verto GeForce 6800GT last night. It overclocked to Ultra speeds just fine.
http://ajax.shackspace.com/overclock.png I've actually got plenty more overhead too, as it let me test the settings up through 438/1.21 before it failed on me. Since I'm on a 250W power supply I decided to play it safe and stop at the 6800 Ultra speeds. It does get a little warm though http://ajax.shackspace.com/toasty.png I think some Arctic Silver 5 may be in my immediate future.

Also for you DVI menz, this card's DVI out didn't have a problem displaying custom resolutions at all (unlike the BFG card I got last week). I created a 1280x960 resolution and it displayed it just fine. Running BF1942 at its max res again is significantly above average!

I'm using the 61.76 ForceWare drivers from http://www.guru3d.com/ for those interested.

  running GF6800@Ultra settings on a 250W PSU? are you out of your mind? you are risking to burn your PSU which could cause it to take some other components with it.
