Hey Dustin,

Sorry for the confusion. Technically this should be listed as 1335 MHZ, not 1300. DDR3 runs at double data rate speed, so its 667.5x2, but only listed as 1300 instead of 1335. I have contacted our website team to make the correct adjustments. So you are correct that there is an error, but its actually listed slower than it really is. Consider it a free upgrade and a safeguard for ourselves if a customer runs into a slower, older version of the model that still runs at 650MHZ DDR3 instead of 667.

Thank you

Hey, I won't lie. I've already returned the Item. I was unable to play the games I was expecting to play. Far be it from me to negelct the sensitive technical Mhz ratings though I never thought I would hear or see XFX doing it. Cutting the corners where performance counts the most is a mistake. But that is me blaming XFX for a 128bit market standard and I appologize. Now that I've done the math myself I'll always buy 256Bit cards as it seems 128bit is Half performance. Thank you for being honest XFX.

Card is 2GB of 667Mhz. Okay so 1GB is 667Mhz. Adding them together doesn't make it 1300Mhz. It still preforms at 667Mhz. Either way the Memory clock is 667Mhz... It's a bullsh*t result.

You still don't get it. As I told you a few days back, before you said I don't know what I was talking about, DDR memory (that includes DDR3) runs at half it's rated speed. So memory rated at 1,335Mhz actually runs at 667Mhz. It doesn't matter if it's 1GB, 2GB, 3GB and so on, it all runs at half it's rated speed, but because it's Double Data Rate the end transfer speed is doubled.

Sorry dude... You've been tricked into false beliefs and I can't agree with you. When it says 667Mhz... The result is 667Mhz... No matter how many + x % signs you throw at it.
