Area-51 M7700, how to tell what video card

The computer in my sig has some flavor of 6800 in it, but i don't know whether it's a normal or an ultra.
It has the ultra heatsink, but it is reported by windows (and the laptop bios) to be just a go 6800.

Is there any other way to tell? What does an ultra report to the bios?

 

all of the graphics cards for the M7700/Clevo D900T/D900K share the same heatsinks.
The only way to know what graphics card it is, is to run gpu-z
If it reads it as a 6800, you have a 6800, if you have a 6800 ultra, you have a 6800ultra.

It reads it as a 6800, but it also says it has GDDR3 ram, which as i understand it only came with the ultras.
Weird.

Thanks for the tip

Clock speeds are 330mhz for the gpu and 500 for the memory, if that is any sort of identifier.
12 pixel 5 vertex shaders, 4.5gpixels/second, 256bit buss for 23.0GB/s bandwidth.

 

Does it say NV41M, or NV42M?
You can read this number in gpu-z or on the physical gpu die. (You just need to remove the heatsink)
I am almost 100% sure that the only difference between the two was clock speed,
The 6800 was at 350Mhz, and the 6800Ultra was at 450Mhz,

If you open the gpu bay, can you tell us the numbers on the sticker of your card, that will help indicate which card it is

GPU-Z says NV41M.

The stickers on the heatsink, or on the GPU board itself?
I haven't taken the heatsink off, i've taken the whole lump out and removed the fan cover to clean all the gunk out (lotta gunk, heh, dropped temps by 10-15*c!).


EDIT for a pic. Pic kinda sucks due to vuepro dying on me and having to use paint to convert to jpg. Paint sucks at converting to jpg:

 

The NV41M is the 6800 ultra, however your gpu clock is closer to a standard 6800 card.

Look at the actual words on the gpu core. It will tell you for sure. NV41M is 6800 Ultra, NV42M is 6800.
The lettering is on the core of the gpu, which is the part which connects to the heatsink.

I was contemplating cracking it open to AS5 it anyway, now i have two reasons. I'll report in with what i find.

 

So the GPU is mirror shiny (literally, quite a good mirror), and says this:
"nVidia A
1PTQT00B30 0503A2
S TAIWAN"

No mention of 6800 or ultra or anything else.

Now with AS5 fresh the gpu seems to be running two degrees cooler at idle (47 as opposed to 49-50), and the ram (which still has the thermal tape) is about the same.


I did, however, discover that the device ID shown in properties/detals/device instance ID will tell you.
DEV_00C8 is a normal 6800, DEV_00C9 is an ultra.

I have a normal

 

Their should be print on the gpu die

Here is what my Quadro FX2500M looks like:


The numbers I am referring to, are on the die under neath the gray thermal compound.

These are the numbers on my Quadro:


See how it says QDFX-2500M on mine

Yours should say something life
GF-GO6800
or
GF-GO6800-Ultra

It has the text i posted, nothing else. Very odd.
Maybe it rubbed off when i was removing the old thermal compound?

 

the text is normally etched/engraved into the die surface if i'm not mistaken - it'd be fairly difficult to remove that.

 

That's what the stuff that was there looked like, the rest was a nearly perfect mirror finish.
