[Dani_mq]

newegg is selling a geforce gts-v at $65. what is this chip? havent heard from it and cant find it on the nvidia site, can anyone help me and how does it compare to the regular gts or the pro.

i saw that on there too..
and i have no idea...
my guess is that it is probably a geforce2 mx or something, and the v stands for visiontek, since they are the only ones making it...
let me check visiontek's site, and see what it says there.

woops, it is a gts...
but still dont know what it is because visiontek doesnt list it in their product list, and since it is oem, i cant find it...no list of oem products....
time to do a web search!
according to the pictures, it has 7 ns ram, which aint all that fast...
hmmm...

cant find anything about this thing...
the only place i have heard about it was on newegg...
maybe someone knows something about this board?
i mean, it is cheap, so how good can it be?

thanks for the replys...
looking at the chip´s info in newegg shows that it a tad slower than an MCI gts.... but still cant figure it out...
anyone?

7ns memory?! ouch! No wonder it's so cheap.... I wonder what the memory clock is at.

It would suck if it was an underclocked GTS... although, would still probably perform better than an MX, and apparently about the same price.. hrmm....

I received the Visiontek Xtasy 5632, GTS-V, a couple days ago. I would say the "V" in GTS-V is definitely for "value". This card is stock clocked at 175/286 which is far below the standard GTS's 200/333. Yes, the 5632 has 7ns memory but it's Infineon SGRAM. I've overclocked it to only 210/340 (without artifacts). I will try for higher when I install RAM heatsinks.

<b>Update:</b> I forgot to mention that although 210/340 is the highest overclocking I can do without artifacting, I have reached 200/410 with lots of artifacts. I only ran at this speed long enough to do one Quake3 benchmark (because I didn't want to risk damage). Doing this at all may mean it is possible to raise my level of overclock above 210/340.

I am quite pleased with card.

Did you notice that Newegg no longer has the Radeon LE listed?

ahd a huge prob with newegg due to my credit card noy beeing isued by an american bank and they charged the amount and then deny it, finaly i bought a regular gts in other site, a chaintek haven heard that brand before hope is any good.

Sorry, to hear about your problems. I fail to understand, in this age of computers, why international purchases present such a problem, but problems we still have.

Don't know much about Chaintech other than having heard the name before.

Good luck.
