the GT. The ultra needs two molex connections and requires a lot bigger power supply. Mate up the GT with a NV5 VGA silencer from arctic cooling and enjoy a quiet card that can be overclocked to Ultra speeds in many cases.

oh cool. i'm still on AGP. i'm upgrading from a 9800 pro 128 MB to the GT card specs that were mentioned. If you have the cash, then by all means go for the ultra, but I don't really think the cost is justifed in real world gaming. What games are u buying it for.
