Gainward 512mb 7900gt info??

[adamryer]

Anywone have any info, street release date/price, on the Gainward 7900gt with 512mb of ram? Ive read that its pretty much a gtx with lower volts, but with a voltmod this thing could OC like crazy!

Never heard anything about it. Dont think they will, they will loose money,because GEEKS likes us will take advantage, buy the cheaper card, MOD IT, and there you go, An inexpensive flagship by Nvidia, and in your own home :twisted:

no its already been released in a few countries, i believe australia is one, but they are comming out with one. Sure its more expensive because of the extra ram, but you can still voltmod it and u will get even more performance than if you voltmodded a 256mb gt.

It's actually called the 7800GS+; I'd assume it overclocks well but the volt mod would be a little bit different due to the different board. I'm also wondering how that signal converting chip does with massive overclocking.

i should add that it is a dual slot (wish i knew that before i bought it but iss all good)
release date: it's out naow-they still have some left
price: i got it from overclockers.uk in England for about $560 USD including shipping from royal mail - ordered it on May 1st it was here in Brooklyn, NY in six days
i'm really happy with the performance increase from a X850XT PE-the 24 pipelines DO make a difference despite the lower clocks
iss runnin' on a 430W Seasonic S-12
i wanted to get a ill AGP card that could buy me some more time so i can save dough for couple more years to waste on a new ridiculously ludacris pc
i understand you can overclock it but do most ppl use the tools that come with the card or do you guys have a better option? please advise. i've tryd to OC my X850 with the default OC tool but i got artifacting and a black screen with relatively minimal OC'ing and a zalman cooler-idle@36C/load@55C thankx

$560 USD including shipping from royal mail

For that you could've gotten an X1900XT and a new motherboard supporting PCI-Express.....

But he didn't want to, so leave it alone.

 

[babyfacdmurdrer]

yeah i could've done that but i get to waste more money this way
