Just need 1, the second one is for the ultra or if you are overclocking.

Bosse you have th3e GE version this is a ultra but failed testing as it could not achive ultra speeds stable enough as standard, but its a better OC than a normal GT, your ram is way better quality, connect the 2 molex connecters from different lines from your PSU.

Use rivatuner to OC it from load up and change name 2 ultra you just saved yourself £100 or $200 from a ultra price.

In theory you have a ultra. nice one.

Errrr...GE has only twelve pipes and is clocked at GT clocks. It doesn't sound like he has that--but if he does, he should return it pronto.

Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.

 

[Bosse]

yeah its no [-peep-] GE

If you can, run the two molex connectors on different rails and get a better OC (esp. if you do the bios vmod). If you can't, it should still run stock clocks.

Actually, The GT is capable of stock Ultra speeds anyways. I have a Gigabyte 6800GT with V-tuner 2 PLus utility for OCing. (Although I've heard that the nVidia OC utility works much better.) I have read a review that said they actually had the leadtek version stable @ 420mhz (stock cooling) and that is the stock speed of an Ultra.

Read the review:

The Gigabyte version has a piped double-sided HSF and cools much better than some models and I read somewhere (can't remember where now) that someone clocked one to 450mhz with stock cooling on the GB model. This article does have the Leadtek version clocked to 450mhz but with watercooling. This review goes on to show all the benchmarks done with various game platform as wel. very interesting information regarding this card.

With a little OC the GT can be as good if not better than the Ultra, for alot less do-re-me!
