woot! i got my 6800...had back order on gigabytes 6800 ultra; but i couldn't wait any longer and went for an evga 6800 ultra. seems to be great so far except for one problem.... i got MOH: pacific assault for christmas and it plays fine at the highest settings. but it randomly locks in the game...like it freezes up and my sound gets stuck on a repeat and most the time after about 10-30 seconds it comes out of it. this only happens ever so often. my temps are ok. i have the latest patch for MOH. I need some help. I also downloaded firmware updates for the vid card from evga about issues with the 6800 ultra cards sticking and freezing but this did not solve the problem.

I have the same problem

You need a bigger PSU I have a 400w one now which i just upgraded to. If you dont want to pay then tune the settings down...mostly the resolution. or get a 550 wat antec PSU.

w00t for even more psu problems!

i have an ultra x-connect 500w...isn't this enough? or should i invest in 2 PSUs? I also have each power connected separately to the psu for the vid card and have nothing attached to those cables. so the problem is not enough juice?

i think you are totally right. i disconnected my cd drive and only have one hooked up now and so far no problems. was wondering if you know where i can find instructions on how to run 2 PSUs? thanks

in a tower case
there is usually an area under the south bridge (the bottom of the case if standing up.
