7900GS OC

Massive Attack · 24 May 2007 at 21:34

what do you guys think? no mods except a vf-700cu

Indy500 · 24 May 2007 at 21:37

Is it stable at those speeds?

Defcon5 · 24 May 2007 at 21:39

How have you got coolbits to go over 800 on the memory?

And i bet you'll pull over 10000 in 05?

Darg · 24 May 2007 at 21:41

Nice memory. I couldn't get over 840 stable on mine without volt mods. Do the 1.55V vcore and 2.2V vmem mods and you'll be looking at around 700/950

I was hitting 650 easily with just 1.4V.

jongeeone · 24 May 2007 at 21:44

my coolbits wont go over 725 so all i can get is 600/1450

Massive Attack · 24 May 2007 at 21:54

i honestly dont know i am using forcaeware 91.47 and yes its stable i am going to run 3dmark now

standard overclocks for those cards, mine his 650 on the core right out the box.

be warned though, those cards have a bad habbit of failing. :mad:

Massive Attack · 24 May 2007 at 22:19

yeah not worried about the core tbh the ram is where it is just got 10500 in 05

This is my second OcUK (palit) 7900GS. Its just come back from hong kong, brand new one as my last the RAM died. Lets hope this dosnt die aswell.

Btw if you got a Palit card expect the RMA to take upto 4weeks+

its XFX which is even more worrying RMA= NEVER, should be ok tho no offence but palit use cheap componets

jongeeone · 25 May 2007 at 16:17

I thought all cards are the safe - just different brands?

Massive Attack · 25 May 2007 at 16:23

what make ram chips are on yours?

jongeeone · 25 May 2007 at 17:05

Samsung *i think* or it was on my old card.

These cards are the same ones used by Gainward for their Golden Sample range, they just dont have the shroud

i stand corrected just seen a lot of em get rmaed is all

Devilman · 25 May 2007 at 21:51

Its so true about the failure rates...

I got a gainward 7900GS which has packed up recently,, it freaks out if core temp goes past 60c, Major artifacts everywhere, glitches, texture faults in WoW etc...

Id be surprised if your overclock survives tbh... my Gainward was clocked "out of the box "(compared to stock clocks of a 7900GS) and its hosed, as are many of the other brands out that there have clocked the cards before sale. More than likely that nice overclock will kill your card in double-quick time.

Massive Attack · 25 May 2007 at 22:57

time will tell i have a 1 year warranty so if it dies i will get a replacement and fail to tell them that it was ever OCed

jongeeone · 26 May 2007 at 00:02

Oh well. If i got to RMA this card again i will :/

Will try and upgrade ASAP to a more reliable card.
