Hi people. I know this card to be an NVidia 6800, other than that I have no idea which model it is. Anyone think they know for sure? Here's the pics...





 
i would say 6800GT or Ultra, (ultra only came to mind because of the double panel metal thing)

ASUS or EVGA?
 
I don't have the card in my possession, gonna buy from someone maybe. Therefore I can't do the obvious & test it out.

Thanks for the ideas Llwyd, was thinking GS or Ultra myself. Don't think the GT has the power connector on the end?! Manufacturer i've got no idea though?
 
Also, what about pricing? How much you think I should offer for just the card on it's own?

Oohh.... next post will be my 100th. How did that happen?!
 
I had a 6800GT, and yes it did have the power connector on the end.

That is deff not a GS, the GS's were not double slot, im thikning GT or Ultra.

My friend has the ASUS GT, its the exact same cooler.

I think its GT cuz of the cooler, but Ultra because of the double slot metal thing.
 
Thanks Darkorb.

I obviously don't know much about GFX cards so your help is really appreciated on this one. In the end I paid £25 total to the guy for it. Should be here in a few days so I'll get a chance to test it then, but I am assured that it is fully working?!

Is there any particular app you guys recommend for running a diagnostic on this card?
 
Rofl, thats a pretty dam good deal for £25:D.

Try the usual candidates. 3Dmark, RTHABJABDUAHD or w/e its called, ati tool and a few games.
 
Hey Ham.

Yeah I thought £25 was pretty sweet, from eBay of course. ;) I'd been haggling him down to £33 last night which is still pretty low but he never got back, so woke up this morning to find i'd got it for less, Bonus! :D

I know I could get some much better cards but i've already got a 6800GT & a BN set of DD SLi full cover blocks for the 6800's which only cost me £12 delivered



so thought id plonk em in their own rig & give SLi a try on them. I've never run SLi before so thought best to try it out on a couple of cheaper but not so crappy cards first.

I'll give 3DMark a bash but have no idea what that RTHABJABDUAHD... prog is, sounds like a winner though, might have to get me it. :rotfl:
 
Now you mention it, my ASUS 6800 had that exact style cooler on it, just different colours and no fins towards the end, just down the sides.

Maybe an asus 6800 ultra? if they did one

I got that impression from the buyer when he said it was OEM but he did'nt know what make of PC it came from. Turns out the guy was'nt too pleased it went for so little & sent me a message saying he wanted me to pay more before he'd send it. I'm thinkin now that it might not be a good idea to do so.

Another question from an Nvidia noob:

Out of all the 6800 series Nvidia GPU's, how is the performance ranked by model, ie; GT, GS, Ultra etc? Which model in the 6800 range is the best basically?

Also, is £35 a good price to pay for a Point of View NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB PCI/E?

Thanks.

Even if it is an OEM card out of a Dell it shouldn't be bad at all. It's a reference card just like all the rest of the aftermarket card minus the frill of having a printed sticker for the heatsink. I would say its a 6800GT with a custom Dell dual slot I/O panel on it. I am almost positive that all of the Ultra's had full sized double slot coolers.

As far as the series goes it's like this: XT, LE, 'Nilla, GE, GS, GT, GTO, Ultra, and Ultra Extreme. The most common back in the hayday of the card were GS, GT, and Ultra.
 
Wow, thanks Fragtek, just the answer I was after... you're ranking them left to right = low to high?

You think £35 ($70) is a good price for the card I mentioned?

Yeah, left to right, low to high.

Yup I would say that's a superb price, and who knows you may end up with an Ultra which would be even more of a bargain. I can't see the card being anything less than a GT which at $70 is a good deal. The 6800 will go down in history as one of those most revolutionary powerhouses nVidia ever developed (IMHO).

Pick it up and let the good times roll.
