i was looking around at the prices of some 6800 Ultra's, and this is right around my price range, just not sure if it would be worth it, not sure what brand it is or anything like that. Any help you guys could offer would be FANTASTIC

HAHA!

Yeah, if you like having most if not all of your PCI slots taken up by that gigantic heatsink!

Great card, but I don't know what this guy was thinking when he put that catastrophe onto it.

For what it's worth, you could probably remove that and stick a fan on there.

Yeah, my motherboard is supports SLI so I could at probably fit one in there. But if I ever wanted to use anything else pci it would take up 2 of the 3 slots... lol. I shall try emailing the guy once, cause for the price it doesn't seem that bad besides the heatsink

I dont' think the guy put that heatsink on, he said it came out of a Gateway

also keep in mind I suggest you have a 400W or higher power supply for that sucker

still might want to try finding a different heatsink
