What Should I do first with my 6800 Ultra OC?

**Radical Dreamer** · September 1st, 2004, 07:45 AM

Well, its supposed to be here tomorrow, my question is what should I do first? Play a game? Doom 3? UT2k4? Or should I run 3dmark 2001? or 2003? Or maybe I should run the nvidia demos.

Please people, help me decide!

First I'd fit the phooooker !

- then go order yourself the worlds strongest psu to keep it running when Doom 3 beats the living daylights out of it on the top setting ..

A wotpp if I ever saw one ..

FedEx it to me. That's the first thing you should do with it!

Why OC such a powerful card? Its already OC'd 25mhz right out of the box.

Doom 3. Definitely Doom 3.

So that it feels like you got something that actually goes significantly faster than an ATI x800 & you don't feel so bad about sticking with Nvidia even though they charge about 50% more ?

They don't charge 50% more where I live.

Apples & oranges going on ? Rad appears to have ordered the very 'best-est' one, they ain't cheap..

So here you'll have a job finding an ultra at all & maybe thats another reason ?

BTW I just discovered that to play Doom 3 in 'ultra quality' you need a vga card with 512 meg of memory - crikey ! I can't even name one with that much memory...
