My 7800GTX O/C

Richard Dower

everytime i run the latest 77.77 driver auto overclock utility i keep getting 489MHz on the core with 1320MHz on the memory....and i've played the F.E.A.R. demo a maximum detail levels for several hours with zero issues.

So i guesss i've got a pretty good card then that can reach the kinda speeds they're charging an arm and a leg for right now.

How much did it cost you in the end?

Dooom

Which make is it? I've just gotten my Leadtek one, and there's a new bios available for it which boosts up the core and memory higher. Can't remember what it goes up to, but it does...

Well XFX have released the OC version of the card in the States with clocks of 490/1.3Ghz without any special cooling solution so I'm not too surprised you got to this with your card, I assume warranties mean nothing to you?
EVGA are the only company with custom cooling solution out yet afaik, heres how all the cards shape up...Clicky!

Can't wait till my PSU arrives so I can try my baby out.
(Yes Richard it still isnt built yet... )

I've got the XFX card, it was factory overclocked out of the box. 450/1250....i paid top whack because the card was just out, a month later and prices have dropped like a stone.

Always happens, early adopters always get royally screwed.

Ah yea but in the States they've released this its an even higher overclock...

I got my card a few weeks ago and paid about €510 for it, not too bad considering I was going to pay the same for the 6800 Ultra a few weeks earlier!

kick ass those 77.77 drivers have the stereo drivers aswell. that fear demo was suprisingly good. ( i was expecting just another fps ). opted for a cheap ass pny €300 6800 myself. found it plays everything very well. didnt find overclocking my card made a noticable difference but then again i cant overclock too much cos my cooling in my rig is rubbish and geared towards silence.

I hear there is some confusion over clock frequencys...as is there are several different ones with this card.

Maybe this link will clarify the situation if anyone was wondering about the difference between cards.

Azza, no link?

The link that I posted earlier to AnandTech had the outline of the clocks on the cards..
They seem to fall into three catagories of clocks - reference, factory OC'd and well...MORE OC'd. I duno I'd just feel uncomfortable running the card at ~490/1.3 without a different cooling solution such as one found on the EVGA KO card...
