The DH review on the PNY 6800 ULTRA....
[color=Yellow]card says it's clocked at 400mhz/1.1ghz.I have my 6800GT clocked at 425mhz/1.1ghz.What am I missing here?Is my GT card running faster than the ULTRA?Again,I have to be missing something here...???.....School me please.[/color]

thats the Ultra's default clock speeds. (well...the reference 6800Ultra's standard clocks)
your gt is "kind of" running faster. it still lacks the fill rate/bandwith of the ultra's memory.

I thought those cards were identical expect for the clock being lower on GT.
I have my Gainward Golden sample GT wich is at default 400/1100, I would very much like to flash it into a Ultra so it is reconized as Ultra in WIN. |

Clockspeeds are different across all brands... some GT's run reference ultra speeds... some non ultras run GT speeds.
Your GT looks like it has a decent core so eVGA utilised it, which is good for you. You maybe dont have ram certified up to 600mhz though...maybe 550mhz. Hard to tell...
Nvidia's reference is:
NU: 325/700
GT: 350/1000
U: 400/1100
UE: 450/1200
Then you get people like BFG who ship some cards at 475core...
Its a lottery really...however if you walked into a store and picked up a PNY 6800 Ultra it would be 400/1.1 as ours was.

I understand what youre saying.Lots of folks criticize me for buying Alienware equipment saying"Oh,you paid way to much".I have a good friend who is pretty high up in management down there and he will pick out the best componants for me.He tested 10 or so P-4EE's before he found one that he would put in his own machine.He did the same for my X800 Platinum & the 6800GT.If I order something from New Egg or wherever it's the luck of the draw.Please do not take this as bragging.I just think it's $$$ well spent....Could you expand on the RAM a little more?I dont quite understand what youre saying.

There is no UE. They are overclocked handpicked ULTRAS (kind of like BFG's OC series)nothing more. |

Just that most Ultras will hit 1.2ghz easy...which is the max of 600mhz memory. As yours is a GT it might not have the same memory as the Ultra and may not reach 600mhz stable...maybe closer to 550mhz. You could also be lucky on that front though and hit 600mhz. |
