Hi,
I'm new to these forums, and I read somewhere that this was a good place to come and ask questions. I recently bought a GeForce 7600GT graphics card and it runs really well (er, well enough for the games I own :D ). Anyway, the memory clock is advertised as 1500MHz, but when I installed a program called Powerstrip to test it it read as 750MHz.

Does my graphics card still run at 1500, and the powerstrip program is too old to recognize it or is there something wrong with my graphics card.

Here's a link to the card, btw: http://www.msicomputer.com/product [...] &class=vga

Thanks in advance.

Yes, video card memeory is DDR - Double Data Rate.

That means it does twice the work at, say, 750 Mhz than SDR (single data rate) memory.

So DDR 750 Mhz is often referred to as 1400 Mhz (effective).

Okay, great. I guess the program I was using was just too old/

No, it was simply correct.

Your memory actually runs at 750 physical Mhz.
