Really stupid question alert.

if I but a pre-clocked version of the card (say the BFG) does that mean that the card simply will not overclock anymore, say if I wanted to take it to 575 core instead of 550? Or does that mean that I could still get a bit more out of it? I am still trying to decide which version to go with.

HI there

They will all overclock to past 600MHz core.

Hi there

At the moment were extremely busy so do order before 2pm these days to ensure next day whilst we still catch up from all the extra business VISTA has created.

Hi there

Not a chance, the price point is already too cheap for a card of this performance.

Only thing that might happen is unbranded none overclocked models may appear for approx £20 less over time. Too me paying £10-£20 more for a BFG product that is faster, comes with T-Shirt and has lifetime warranty is well worth £10-£20.

EDIT: I need to read earlier pages.

thats a good deal there gibbo, will one of these have better performance than two highly overclocked 7900GS? cause i might be tempted if it will offer better performance and save me these stupid errors with games not liking SLI

Hi there

I cannot comment for sure but I would have thought an 8800 GTS 320MB would be quicker and far better image than your 7900 GS SLi setup.

peetee · 9 Feb 2007 at 15:32

im going to get the BFG just because theres a lifetime warranty, i get mouse pads, and i get the tshirt, which im going to get my new mrs to put on so i can get a picture of her in it.
A dancer in a geek tshirt, its wrong on so many levels

Dyson · 9 Feb 2007 at 15:34

The t-shirt sold it, tbh!

Far better image quality is an understatement! Going from a 7900gs to a x1950pro was a big enough step in terms of IQ

how long are these cards?

Nope, it will overclock more. Mine was the pre-oc'd version from bfg, and it marched up to 600 on the core.

Oh dear, I think I'm going to have to sell my X1950 Pro I bought a month ago for one of these beauts.. How much would I get for a second hand Powercolor X1950 Pro 512MB??

Same length as the x1800/x1900/x1950/640mb GTS.
