My thought exactly. Hopefully we will hear some news soon. Did you guys see the clock on the XPSG2 above.

almost seems like a fluke as the results haven't been reproducible. but a few who've used the "auto overclock" method are reporting 5400-5600 scores. however the test typically crashes on the second run. but still 6k+ is now the score to beat. i'm guessing it's probably a heat issue.

yes you can achieve those scores, some cards can. Some cards wont break 4900.

On a real note you probably wont be able to play at those clocks for long. Computer cancer will kick in.

i say prolly, because i dont have a ultra.

Here it is with quality settings. The 6036 was with max performance settings.
I cant wait to see what this card will do in the sager

Hey Luke I know you said don't hold me to any date but now that it is April 15th do you have any info at all on this? Many of us want to know. Thanks.

Can't someone give us half a straight answer on the ULTRA's availability? Uggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh, I know you probably can't say much, but can you at least say it should be coming in the next 2 months or something??? I called nVIDIA and they never called me back, lol, what did I expect? Anyhow, thanks Luke for all you do on these boards...

I guess that the most we can hope for is the Ultra within 4 weeks. Any chance that there could be a major overhaul?

Good try though, I cant blame you

the 9860 with the ultra would kick major ass.

now the 9860 with a amd and ultra or upcoming videocard tech would own

when they won't tell you anything, something is seriously wrong with the situation. But maybe they just have direct communications with clevo/sager and don't tell any juicy things to resellers

3 more business days left in April! Are we looking at May or June for the revised motherboard/Ultra update for the 9860?

I have so much confidence that it will be out, that I instead spent my computer budget on a Madone 5.9 SL. http://www2.trekbikes.com/Bikes/Road..._5.9/index.php
I don't need the laptop until August, so I can wait. Hopefully by then, AMD will be hooked up to an Ultra or 850.

Go look at the Turions performance compared to the P-M, you won't be pleased. All the Turion has going for it at this point is 64 bit support.

True, I was thinking of the FX desktop chip.
