Hehe, yeah the GT's are good
I noticed Serotine that you have some Ballistix PC4000. I'm wondering, have you tried lower timings? It should do it, I think most of the PC3200 is reaching 250Mhz 2.5-5-2-2
The maximum this memory will do at tight timings of 2-2-2-6 2.8V is 200-215MHz..
The maximum this memory will do at looser timings of 2.5-2-2-8 2.8V is 220-235MHz.
The maximum this memory will do at loose timings of 2.5-3-3-8 2.8V is 235-250MHz.
Please note, all these timings are with the command rate of 1T.
I am really happy with it, I mean it's so flexible, If I want low latency I can just lower fsb and tighten the timings up. If I want good bandwidth I can just crank up the fsb and loosen the timings.

First off have you been using Driver Cleaner to get rid of all the old bits of drivers? if not go get it read the instructions and use it. Re-start the driver process again. The latest ones on the Nvidia site are probably a safe bet at the moment. So clean your PC with that prog and install new drivers.
Then do as you say you have done and ensure 'FastWrites' are turned off. This is most important. Get 'Riva Tuner' and this will comfirm you have them turned off. Also get the 'Coolbits' registry tweak. Run this and it will add overclocking capability to your display properties. You can adjust both 2D and 3D speeds. Now what you must ensure is that they are both set at the same speed! sometimes the 2D comes set lower than the 3D this can cause symptoms like you are having. Set the 2D to the same speed as the 3D.
I have an XFX6800 Ultra in my K8N Neo2 Plat and it works superbly so fingers crossed doing the above will sort it as they are the main probs with the 6800Ultra cards.

BFG 6800 Ultra causes K8N Neo2 Platinum to not POST - Problem finally resolved!

I'm able to run with an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and a PNY 6800 GT with no problems, but as soon as I plug in my BFG 6800 Ultra I can't get it to POST. The D-Bracket indicates it's doing "Processor Initialization". I don't see any output at all even though steps prior to "Processor Initialization" should be writing a few things to the screen. I should be getting plenty of power as I've got a good PSU and have two of the lines going to the BFG and nothing else. I've tried using several different combinations of lines as well so that doesn't appear to be the problem. I've already changed all the usual suspects in BIOS that might affect the AGP. I've also put the BFG in a crappy Dell system with a crappy PSU and it handled it just fine.
Anyone got any suggestions? I can't seem to find anyone else reporting this problem so apparently I'm the lucky one. Pleeeeeaaaaase! Someone help me fix my problem!

Keep in mind that not all Motherboards regulate their VCore and VDimm almost entirely from the 12v rail. However while it does task that rail it does provide a way for the manufacturer to provide more stable voltages and power. So different boards will react slightly different based even on the same exact set of parts. With so many parts needing 12v these days you have to make sure the PSU is up to supplying enough for everything.
The second thing is how differently each MB sets up in Bios. This can have quite an impact on RAM timings. Loosen up the timings a tad and maybe things will also go a tad easier. However if you can't get any poost then you may have to try an older stick of something like PC2100 or somesuch so that you can enter Bios and set appropriate timings for the RAM you want to use.
Third you can read the various stickies like Basec Building tips to help you get things properly setup.

NV Silencer 5 Problem with a 6800 Ultra

I have purchased and installed an NV Silencer 5 on my Graphics card 6800 Ultra yesterday and realised that there was a problem in that the double backplate didnt have any vent holes to let the heat out, so i phones the people i bought it off and got them to send me on. However i left the cooler on just to see what kind of temps i was going to get and it was idling around 65 C which i thought was understandable. So i removed it and put the stock cooler back on with new thermal Paste and got 51 - 54 C which is great considering the old thermal paste had me up at 59C. Anyways i got the replacement bracket today and fitted it all and guess what its still idleing at 65C now. when i put my hand at the back of the exhaust i barely feel any airflow at all, the fans spinning in the right direction and i have applied the thermal paste properly, so what am i doing wrong or is there something wrong with the cooler?

MSI K8N Neo Plat and 6800 Ultra

I just got a BFG 6800 Ultra from a friend yesterday. Worked great for him the whole time he had it. I just put in a new 550 watt PSU because I read it requires a lot of power. Put it in, fan turns on, card seems to get power just fine. Just loading up and going through BIOS is like a matrix, everything is jumbled around and impossible to read. Windows will not boot, get a black screen. I can run in safe mode with a slightly messed up background. Under settings it does not detect any kind of card, but under device manager it is listed, and I did install drivers. Not sure what the problem could be, I messed around with what I could see in BIOS, turned off fast write and such. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you previously had an ATI card you will need to totally remove the old drivers & it's a good idea to replace them with newer versions regardless.
Simply uninstalling usually isn't enough, because there's always "leftovers". There's a free utility called Driver Cleaner (Google for it) that will remove all traces of the old drivers.
Also, if you are running a Neo 2 Platinum (AGP graphics) there's some other things to be aware of as far as BIOS settings.
- Disable ATI/Nvidia Speedup. This tries to OC the bejeebus out of your vid card & usually with bad results.
- Disable Fastwrites as well. This is a known NF3 chipset/6800 issue. One would think that Nvidia parts would "play nice" together - Go figure.

Geforce 6800 Ultra - output only video to TV

I just bought a new Geforce 6800 Ultra and I'm a little confused about the settings for TV output via the s-video cable. Is it possible to have only the video I'm watching zoomed full screen on the TV? Currently I'm only able to get the desktop shown on the TV but not the video only.
I'm asking this because I used to have Matrox Parhelia 128 which had this function and I liked to watch all the DVD's and other video from my tv.
Thank you for your help!

I'm still confused about the TV-problem.
When I switch to TV mode I can watch videos from TV but when I return I have to put all the resolutions and screen adjustments back in the settings. It's really frustrating to do it every time.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?

I have a 6800 ultra in my powermac, what temp should it be?

I have a 6800 ultra in my powermac 2.7, what temp should it be? right now the case is between 111-120 F and the chip is between 150-160F.... is this the temperature that it should be running in? also, is the only difference between the ultra and the GT the 50mhz core clock and the 100mhz memory clock? thanks for the help

Dear The Geek,
I have the Dual 2.5 G5 with very similar cooling system, etc. I just recently installed a 6800 GT card new from Ebay and it has been running about 111ºF on the Graphics processor case and 144ºF on the Graphics processor chip at idle. As far as I know the difference in clock and memory speed are the only differences between the 6800 GT and Ultra. That said, the difference in processor operating temp could be due to the slightly higher clock speed, I suppose. Running Cinebench I did get the processor temp up to about 147ºF. I don't think the extra 10ºF should be a critical difference. I wonder how your fan speeds compare. For instance, my Graphics processor fan runs static at 32% and the PCI Slot Fan runs static at 49%. How does your PCI fan compare?...I notices mine runs considerable faster with the added current used by the 6800 compared to the original 9600xt.

Upgraded 10.5.5 Dual G5 6800 Ultra lost main monitor

I run Dual head (twin LCDs 1280x1024) on my Dual 2.5GHz G5 with 6800 Ultra
I just upgraded to 10.5.5 and I lost my primary display, it's not kicking out any signal that my screen can work with. The secondary screen is fine.
I went to display settings and changed the primary screen to loads of valid settings and nothing works.
Reset PRAM, still nothing.
I suspect from reading other posts that 10.5.5 is bollocked on G5s somehow.
Does anybody have any insight or information about what I can do to fix things?
I'm not overly happy about trying to drop back to 10.5.4 as I just lost one of my drives and I'm actually trying to restore that at the moment so the prospect of finding a spare 500G drive to clone onto is a bit scary etc.
Anyway, let me have the suggestions

Hi Mordatdansant,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I want to say make a bootable clone first and use Archive and Install as the option on the OS Disk to get back to an earlier OS, but you don't seem very up for that.
There's another thing you could try to fix your issues but only if you're willing to take an element of risk. I've done this two times to clean up weird problems on my mac but I had backups galore and could take the risk (I'm reckless as heck too). Exactly what problems trying this fix could cause, I don't know. Essentially I would think it was copying over files to replace identical ones. It's I just don't see this posted too often.
So do you feel lucky..., well, do ya' "Mordat"?, huh?
If so, download the Mac OS X 10.5.5 Combo Update, yeah, the gigantic one, here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1055comboupdate.html
Once you get it all to your desktop, double click on it and apply the update, again. When I did it I don't recall the installer giving me the usual install options, but if it does do an Archive&Install.
You'll be asked to restart..., and, when it all starts ups again, ideally, your problems will be gone.
Best of luck
Steve

Can My 6800 Ultra Push Video To My Trusty Dusty Samsung HDTV

Hello
I have a DP 1.8 with a 6800 Ultra card. I have an older Samsung HDTV that has a DVI connector. The Samsung website tells me that it is a DVI-D Single Link input. Can I run a standard DVI-D cable from my card to my TV?
I am hoping to use this older Samsung of mine as a display to test my video edits on before exporting and what not.
Anyone have any luck?
Thanks.
If anyone finds this whose curious--I have two 1.5TB Seagate HD's in my G5 and it runs like a champ.

If one or both connections are DVI-D, you need a DVI-D cable.

Heat ram geforce 6800 ultra

i'm planning on installing a watercooling on my msi geforce 6800 ultra because the fan just makes way too much noise. therefore i can choose between a complete vga cooling or just a chipset cooling. so i was wondering... does th ram get hot when their not cooled or will they be just fine without any cooling?
i was also wondering if when i've installed the watercooling i can remove the extra powersupply and let the card run on the agp-power (probably not, but i only got a 460 W supply and i'm having powershortages (i already had to remove the tv-card))...

I do believe the RAM on the 6800 is GDDR3 which runs cooler than it's predecessors, however, I am not entirely sure.
I do know that some of the previous heatsink designs were basically consolidated solutions, meaning the GPU and RAM were cooled with a single heatsink.
If you take MSI's TopTech coolers found on some the 8X Ti 4X series, this was a prime example of this particular technology. I have found in several cases where I had failing fans, I had no alternative but to replace the cooler assembly with a single GPU fan such as the Vantec IceberQ 4 http://www.vantecusa.com/product-cooling.html# but the package only came with 4 heatsinks and the cards I had in my possesion needed 8. Needless to say I did not use them as I discovered that the card ran much cooler without them in a non overclocked situation, certainly ramsinks would have improved OC'ing performance but in a client situation, this was not necessary.
Ultimately what I noticed was happening was, that the all in one heatsink transferred heat from the GPU, to the heatsink and back to the ram chips that ran cooler anyways. Not the best solution IMHO.
Also there was an additional factor involved, and that was the systems I built had a side cover fan aimed directly at the card so in fact I didn't really need ramsinks.
In your situation, you may be able to get away with just the GPU waterblock, but for lack of my own experience with the 6800 I cannot say definitively that this would be the best solution for you. I do know that my X800's RAM is GDDR3 and seems to run cooler as memtioned above. But I am on air.
If you stay current with available systems by boutique builders that are featured in some PC magazines such as Maximum PC, you may have been aware that one system builder actually made a separate cooling solution for the ram as well.
I do not know if this is available yet, and you may find you may have to use a combination of air and liquid. You may not even need to do it at all. Hard for me to speculate

GeForce 6600 & 6800 Ultra or 7800GT in G5 QUAD???

Hello guys.
What better for upgrade?
I check tests-and see that 6600 better than Ultra...
So... what card I need if I want change my 6600.
Any ideas?
Thanks for help...

Hi Lexas;
I currently have the Quad with the 7800 GT in it. It is great.
In the title you sound like you might be thinking of putting a 6800 Ultra in the Quad. I don't think it will work. The 6800 Ultra is AGP and the Quad uses PCI Express cards. So I don't think it will fit into the Quad.

Colour Issues - NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra in G5 2.5Ghz

Hi
I have an odd issue with NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra card in a G5 Tower.
The monitor (tried several screen so ruled that out) displays as if it is only producing Thousands instead of Millions of colours, but this is only seen at the Black end of the scale and white. For example, if you are viewing a folder's content as list, you can't see the pale blue lines under every other file. If you open another window on top, you can see the blue lines in what would be the shadow of the top window. So pale colours and dark colours are showing as white or black.
Interestingly I have a fix for this issue but it's not permanent as it reverts on restart. If I go to System Prefs > Displays and rotate the display 180˚ and then revert to 0˚ the problem is fixed!
I've tried everything I know to find a permanent fix :-
Dumping Preferences
Calibrating
Resolutions and Refresh rate
I did have this issue on an ATI card, but I resolved that with an ATI System Preference Pane.
Can anybody suggest trying anything?
thanks
Matt

Genius, this strikes a chord. I remember resolving this issue for a customer a couple of years ago and this was the answer. Was v.pleased with myself at the time, but obviously my memory is failing me now.
Can't test until monday, but will be in touch.
PS what does this say/mean - Aha, good clue, the bloe bard!
thanks
Matt

I just got myself a GeForce 6800 Ultra and boy, am I happy about it !
I re-installed Windows XP. I tested a few games including Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and FarCry. All seem to be running quite fine but a little slow maybe. I also tried RalliSport Challenge from Microsoft / Dice. I previously used to play it on a ATi Radeon 9800 PRO (128 MB) and it ran much smoothly then. GF6800U has slowdown even at 800x600 (AA and AF off) !Radeon could handle it at 1024x768 (AA and AF off). At 1280x960 (AA and AF off), the game becomes unplayable on GF6800U.
And I'm getting a score of 16287 in 3DMark 2001 SE. Isin't it kinda low for this kind of setup? I'm sure my Radeon 9800 PRO used to get more than this !
It seems that GF6800U isin't able to extend all it's muscle under the current setup. Could it be related to the BIOS version ? I have heard people having performance related problems with newer BIOS revisions. Should I try to downgrade the BIOS version ?

I installed Riva Tuner and this is what I could find:
$0100000000 Graphics core : NV40 revision A1 (16x1,6vp)
$0100000001 Hardwired ID : 0040 (ROM strapped to 0040)
$0100000002 Memory bus : 256-bit
$0100000003 Memory type : DDR (RAM configuration 07)
$0100000004 Memory amount : 262144KB
$0100000005 Core clock : 425.250MHz
$0100000006 Memory clock : 550.800MHz (1101.600MHz effecti...
$0100000007 Reference clock : 27.000MHz
$010000000b HW masked units : none
It's a GF6800U from XFX.
If the power supply is awful, can it actually result in a slow running card ? I thought that the PC would hang up or restart in an event of low / insufficient power.

GeForce 6800 Ultra Release timeframe?

Anyone know about when MSI's 6800 Ultra should hit the market? I'm debating whether or not to pre-order one, but if it's going to take until July to get it, I won't bother.

I am more fond of the GT, june 21, 3 days away. I have enough power for the 6800 U, just thought of not paying a premium. I can only wait until 2nd week of August. That is the last date for me to get the fastest card. If you hate waiting with your crappy card, my card is even worse. At least I can play ut04 smoothly. No difference with a dx9 card. Though I am moving fast in the game, I don't have time to appreciate anything.
Its not Any card manufacturers fault for the delay. Nvidia still have not got the WHQL approval from M$. Great card, but no driver's to run it. What a waste of resources.
A lot of people are still waiting for the 6800 to hit the shelevs. Everyone is waiting for the ONLY sm3.0 card, even though no games.
The only card in Dubai, th price, its ok. I've been to Dubai, the locals there are sooo rich. 50% of the population are foreigners. The goverment takes care of its citizens well. The poorest man has an middle class 2.0L car. This is one country where you see porshce's like seeing a normal proton cars. They are quite genorous too. Like them a lot. They wont mind/know any thing about the pricing. Everything there is cheap Except electronics. Malaysia has cheeper electronics (we make them).

Which power supply for GeForce 6800 Ultra ?

As there are special requirements for the power supply and "550W" is often a marketing gag my questions is:
Which particular (and silent) power supply is recommended for GeForce 6800 Ultra cards ?

All those power supplies i suggested will power the 6800ultra with no problems. Tagan 480, OCZ 480 are very quiet. Enermax 465 is moderately quiet. I suggest you do some reading in the forums first or you might get yourself confused. Also note that the 6800ultra is a very very noisy card.
