Hey Guys, it is me again  My Question is: Is it possible to flash a Geforce 6800 Dual-DVI for the Quicksilver??? Do I have the same probs with the 6800 like with the 7800GS? Which chip must it have? I've frozen my 7800GS project, because it has become to expensive, but the fact is that I need Dual-DVI for my two 17" studio displays. greetings from Germany!! carrocka |

Yes you can. Have a look here: www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/nvidia6800gtonam.htmlYou need a reference board 6800 Ultra. You will have to look on ebay as there are no new ones available. One of the advantages is the rom, available from The mac elite is only 64 k so you do not have to change the chip. Good Luck. |

Both of these will do the trick: Try Here and HereThese are both reference Ultra boards, this is the sort of board you need to find. These will take up 2 slots.  |

d**n, linked to the wrong card! I meant HereI prefer the second one though, I don't like cards that have been mucked around with, unless of course it's going in a mac and has been modded! |

So..I bought the card from ebay and flashed it with the 6800 GT rom. I need to tape the pins now, so it will take some minutes untill I know if it works!!
Another question: Can I use the original 6800Ultra rom from themacelite to flash my card, because it is originally an ultra card???
so far..carrocka

Carroca,
If the card is an Ultra, you need to change the device id in the GT ROM FROM 0045 to 0040 or it will not work. You can use the mac Ultra rom but DVI will not work, only VGA by means of an adapter on the DVI sockets. If you email me I can do the rom for you.
