plz explain what difference is in 6800

[x98gulinski]

I saw this neat cooler for a 6800, but it says it'll only work on gt and ultra models, what are the board design differences between a vanilaa, gt, and ultra? are they caps in diffferent places or is it actually possible to put this thing on a 6800

NOTE: The VID-NV1-L06 is designed for 6800 GT and Ultra video cards only, and will not work with regular GeForce 6800 cards.

I'm not blind, i saw what they said but my question was if there are any architectural or design differences in the boards, or if they are the samer reference design. Thanks though

Couldn't you just hack this thing up to go around any obstructions? at least the metal plate parts, not the cooler parts, or are the momory chips put in different places on the non ultra and gt model?

They all use the same PCB. I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only difference is the type of memory, and i dont think the shape varies with that.

mabey some placments of some compacitors on some 6800s..the only difforence is diffornt ram and loweer pieplines

Yeah the 6800nu can have some broken pipelines and/or a broken vertex processor (?)...

The ultra also has some changes in the board that have to due with the 2nd molex connector (there are other things added there, it isnt just soldered on).

The core is also faster, and the gts and ultras also have better ram (unless you buy certain brands that put in faster ram)
