for 2 cards, costing a combined £140 i'm impressed, but i think the X1800XT would be better buy for similar money.

For £130 its awesome value but these cards are there to be overclocked thats the thing!

Iv seen reviews using lesser processors than the one posted earlier achieving 91** on stock SLi! I'm fairly convinced with some overclocking you could achieve over 10k! So thats the challenge once we open the 7300GT owners club :D
 
Actually it copes better in oblivion than it does in the engine used in both Quake 4 and Prey, Oblivion due to the fact that it isn't the fastest paced game on the planet and if you dont put full distance etc on would run fine!

As i said guys if it wasn't for my delays I'd have my report up on them :P Fingers crossed that by the weekend I'll have the SLi Rig up and running for testing!

I'm gonna break that 10k with them ;) Plus im looking to score more than I did with my x1800xt 512 on both 3D Marks 05 and 06.

I have to ask tho, why does Gibbo not look into getting these cards in stock? they would be great sellers would they not?

My bro just got his new PC delievred yesterday :( damn those GX2's rock :P

Hi there

OK am on the case....

Can those in the know email [email protected] with what products you want, who else sells them etc. etc.

Hey cool Gibbo, im emailing you as we speak with a good few details!

Email sent :p

If you can get these cards then it would be great news for the site!

Ok Ok i got lots to do!

3D Mark 06 results - i didnt do it many favours as i had about 3 explorer pages open + messenger live and my usual windows apps all on :(

3467 3d marks
1781 sm2 score
889 hdr
1776 cpu score


Results? & Debate please! This is stock x24400/2gig/2x7300gt

I have taken the plunge and bought 2 zalman vf900's (damn expensive!!!) so the coolers are worth as much as 1 graphics card now ! Anyway once they arrive that samsung memory is going to wrung to an inch of its life ! LOL

Im confident that the card can better that fairly easily tbh! Clock clock clock clock clock :D
I actually feel like your score is a bit low for some reason as 2 of these should be faster than a 7600gt
 
Its the 7300gt's where you'll find one of the biggest improvements in score, i believe 42** with the pair in 06 is achievable no problem!

*EDIT* highest score on orb is 5168 with a pair, very nice indeed!

Hi there

I've just ordered a shed load of the Galaxy 7300 GT 256MB GDDR3 with Zalman cooler.

We got 200 units arriving in approx 10 days. Price is £69+VAT and product will be on the website available to pre-order by end of the day. :)

Also sourced some cheaper 7300 GT GDDR3 with STD cooler for about £15 less but have not confirmed yet. :)

Gibbo listened to my email i sent him :D

Well done mate the Galaxy's will be cracking buys!
 
Whatever the "first" card is clocked at the second card will match!

Its better your score but again still not what I expected, there must be something wrong somewhere!

Btw, is it definately the 256MB card not the 128MB one and also is it DDR3 and not DDR2!

500mhz is the standard clock on a DDR3 model ;)

£81 inc vat for a 7300gt? thats a rip, competitors are selling them for £70 inc vat AND delivery.

thats for the ones with the Zalman cooler mate, they aint available anywhere really tbh!

The £63 price we assume for the Inno3D ones he's getting in will be a good price cheaper than all sites I know of so its well done to Gibbo and OCUK if that happens! :D

The two brands will be Galaxy(for the Zalman) and Inno3D for default PCB!

Thats the cards I provided Gibbo with the info for and the only 2 available i believe in 256mb ddr3! so thats should be the two brands coming!
See my thread got us 7300gt's with DDR3 comin in :P thank me now! LoL!

Seriously though thats why I love this place cos they listen to their customers

This is the problem with low budget stuff, youve got amateurs posting.. well nothing.

As far as can see thier aint no screen shots(i havnt read the whole thread to be fair) but what use is rubbish links that dont work etc.

As soon as i can ill put up some proper screenies of 7300gt standard, oc'd and same with zalman cooler. Not being negative but this whole thread seems speculation or guess's.

As i said earlier im still waiting on mines with one despatch notice of 1-3 working days just recieved :P should get a second despatch notice today as well with both cards arriving by the weeks end :P

As i said I will providin benchies and shots :P
 
Lol its cool man no worries, its just taking me ages to get the freakin cards lol! Its like almost as epic as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy :P

Anyways Gibbo if your out there, when are you expecting the cards in? nice prices tbh! :D
 
Nice what card is it you have?
Apparently my delivery came from the dodgy website I ordered from :( lol My mum however is clueless and cant describe what the item is.....so now I need to wait until I get home to see if its what it should be!

Apparently there is another adress and name in the box containing the item....woohoo sounds like someone may have my 7300gt grrrrr
 
Your not wrong at all mate!

In synthetic benchmarks they can out run the x1800xt

However in terms of real time gaming you will find it close but not as fast I assume! Im sure in certain games the cards will be faster though!

It should offer with some good overclocking performance close to x1800xt!
The card itself is no low-end part!

note* i got some guys ram sent to me instead lol! so its getting sent back and fingers crossed il have it....finally next week.

@ vent if your referring to the scores above your post then, unless i am misreading the post, that is for 2x7300gt's in sli.

Those scores should be higher as well ;) i want miens to see what they can do lol!
 
Update, cancelled one 7300gt and ordered the 7600gt from OCuK :D
I have another 7300gt on the way as I said hopefulyl by next week early and I am going to attempt to do the whole mixed SLi thing ;)
