7900 GT Spotting

[Czarles]

I find, where ever I go I can't find one. It is ok for now because I don't have the money, but soon I'm looking at getting a new computer and this card looks sweet.


Can you overclock the cheap 300 dollar one to 360 level?
If not, can you overlcock the 330 to the 360 level?

And what is this outage all about?

I'm assuming the 7900gt?? Then yes you can really OC that card to The GTX speeds. Just be shure if you plan on doing so, PLZ invest in some aftermarket Cooling, A couple buck can save you hundreds in the end.
A rule of thumb from the OC Enthusiasts :twisted:
A cooled vga is a happy Vga :twisted:

Make sure to do a volt mod.

Can the cheapest oldest 7900 Gt out there be overclocked to the point where he is at level with the "superclock" from manufacturer cards?

and is it cheaper to just go out and buy the superclock rather than buy aftermarket cooling?

 

[Heyyou27]

All of the 7900GTs are about the same age, but yes any card should be able to reach the superclock speeds.

They all OC about the same.
Newegg has them for under $300 and in stock now.

Using New egg as a reference the "under 300" card is 470/1370.
People who have posted reviews of it say they have it up to 518/1536.

But for 20 dollars more is a card defaulted at 500/1500
People have reported gettting it up to 550/1700 stock (also after mods 640/1800).


Are those a few extra MHz?
