Murt, you can download a program called RivaTuner and have use it to overclock your videocard. When you restart your PC, *poof* your videocard is now faster...

You want a good refresh rate and DPI... "Dots Per Inch"
Usually something around .24 is good...

hey djin what is it that makes the ultras... ultra? because they have non-ultra geforce 5600's with 256 memory on newegg for around the same price as 128 ultras. are ultras just that much better?

.....what could you overclock taht to?
http://www.facebook.com/murtb
I'm not sure Murt. Each videocard is made different. I would need to know the make/model of the current one you're getting. Read, and then tell you...
I just know the one I'm getting can overclock to the PRO level.

ahh, but do i not need some more cooling?
i mean the graphics card would be so badass taht it would burn up the whole inside of my pc
therefore i think i would need some type of cooling, eh?
water, or fan?
http://www.facebook.com/murtb
Just a basic fan or heatsink would be fine... if you're really going to overclock you will need RAM sinks and other cooling...
You don't need crazy cooling for videocards...

It's the speed of the core and memory that makes it the Ultra.
I bought the eVGA GeForce FX 5900 (The same as the one in the contest)
Here are the stock speeds!
400Mhz Core / 850Mhz Memory
I've overclocked this card to;
450Mhz Core / 950Mhz Memory... Here comes the cool part...
5950 Ultra
Memory Interface:
Memory Bandwidth:
Fill Rate:
Vertices/sec.
Memory Data Rate:
Pixels per Clock (peak):
Textures per Pixel:
RAMDACs
256-bit
30.4GB/sec
3.8 billion texels/sec.
356 million
950MHz
8
16*
400MHz
My videocard is faster then the 5950 Ultra! Cool eh? Not bad for $239!
I just got my videocard to 500/1000
