I have a Asus V9900 nVidia GeForce FX 5800 128 MB ddr video card. The GPU clock is 400MHz default. On the Ultra card with the same GPU they have it clocked at 500MHz default. So when I set the GPU to 500MHz it runs fine for about 20-30 min. then it starts to overheat! I can't even touch it because it's so hot!!!
