7900 GT memory clock speed

[-Feller-]

I have what is probably a stupid question. But i purchased this card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150139

And it lists the Core Clock at 520 MHz and the memory clock at 1500 MHz.

However, when i looked at my settings it did not seem to match, it showed my memory clock speed at 750 MHz. And my core clock at 520 MHz

Am i just missing something?

I'm very new to video card settings, i've been reading alot but have not found the answer to this question.

thank you

Your core is running correctly.
Double 750 and you get........1500mhz. A lot of memory timing software shows the ram at native speed ie 750, not at double speed ie 1500mhz. Some software gives you the option to display at normal speed or at double date rate (DDR)

So your card is quite correctly set up.

It is the same as for example DDR400 ram. It is 200mhz ram usind double data rate technology to double the bandwidth. Graphics cards also use double data rate memory, so your 750mhz ram runs at DDR1500mhz.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out.
