What is the card vendor? Was it factory overclocked? Because those are default speeds.

My 7900gs was stock at 450/660. I got rid of the stock cooler and replaced it with a Cooler Master Vivo and dropped my temps from 90 load to 48 load 40 idle.. I noticed artifacts on mine after nearing the 1.5-2 year mark. I had mine overclocked to 560/800 half the time tho.I've never smelled anything burning from mine. Mine was also E-VGA. Hope this helps

Sounds like you were using a factory overclocked card. Since they gave you a nice new fan, just up the core and memory clock with Rivatuner. I suggest 560/750 as a safe place for the card to be, especially if you are new at overclocking.

If anything, you just got upgraded. Rejoice :) !

I don't know what program will show you the actually speed, but 660 x 2 = 1320 because you have GDDR3 memory. Check online if other users have your card. My card's default clocks were listed in my previous post. Good luck

GPU-Z shows 660...not the actual spead of 660*2, I think you may have understood me, read it again.
