These cards overclock insanely... My friend's new one is doing similar on stock...it's a very nice card indeed.

Just hope the HardOCP article about oc'd cards randomly dying isn't the case here...

always keep a spare card in the draw = no downtime

I'm waiting on a 7900GT.... hopefully it'll clock as high as these, maybe higher as i've got a peltier all set up for it

hope they don't randmly die... i've been without PC for 4 weeks waiting for an RMA to come through

Volt mod it if you have a peltier.

Lol...true enough. I have plenty of spare cards but having spare 7800/7900-class cards around is somewhat hard on the wallet

And plugging in my old PCI graphics cards makes me cry inside

lol i always keep a spare card at hand, infact a couple just incase.

ive had a 7900gt go wonky on me, luckily the 6800 came to the rescue

We have a house with 3 decent PCs..but I suspect my housemates would kill me if I tried to nick their 7800/7900 cards

Aside from that, it's the whole "I'm PCI-E, you're AGP, let's call the whole thing off" thing...

Reckon it's worth me volt modding mine? I'm on Water Cooling, guess I should buy some RAM sinks though.

I'm way ahead of ya

bought a nice shiny new needle-point soldering Iron and some rather flashy VR's today.

I'm going to see just how bad the speed binning is on the chips, I'm aiming for GTX speeds. we'll have to wait and see.
