anyway, if it's true what jmke said:

"only noticable through benchmarks in my humble opinion"

than I'll wait untul I'll really see a difference..

if you had replied something else then "yeh?" I might have understood that you needed confirmation on that :p

yes it IS true, difference between GT <> Ultra is not very big, not noticable in games unless you run 1600x1200 4x FSAA 8x AS

in counter-strike source anti aliasing is 8x (max) & antiscop 16x (max.) don't know of the others, should test HL² SP.. have nothing other than HL² atm.

(I run in both desktop & games 1280 by 1024) worth oc'n it ATM to an ultra or could I just wait longer without seeing any difference?

->

k thx, I'll wait until the difference is noticable than. :)

someone else who agrees or disagrees?

Who can disagree.;)

Overclock now or later doesn't mean any difference if the outer limit is what you are getting after. Like we all need 3GHz AMD S939 to making a living or couldn't do our job without.:)

So, I'd say go for it and let us know how far you get.:cheer:

if you have a vanilla 6800, and you get it up to GT/Ultra speeds, then I agree with you Lazyman;

but in case of the 6800GT, increases might not be seen today; but a year from now it will be; it does matter. let me explain.

if you run Doom3 now at 1280x1024 you will get 70+ on either GT or Ultra. overclocking your GT to Ultra or higher speeds will not be noticable in-game because whether you have 70fps or 77fps your eyes and mind wont register this.

however 1 year from now Raven releases a game based on the Doom3 engine and added tons of complex level design and cool special effects, your frame rate drops to 30fps with the GT, the Ultra gets 35fps; if you now overclock that GT to Ultra speeds, you WILL notice that 5fps in-game.

:)

yeh I know that framerate story, you can't see the difference above 60 FPS.

though, is the difference between a GT and an ultra only frames?

what do you mean?

nevermind :) I'll just overclock when I feel my graka needs to be oc'ed. ^^
