maybe i am not that smart but i can't figure out how it can destory the card
about the 7900GS, are u still able to get higher freq !!!!!!!!!

yea pretty sweet. With my X1800GTO oc'd and unlocked at 16p 700/700 and my e6400 at 3.2GHz I score 11230 in 3dmark05 but only 5400 in 3dmark06. I wonder if the extra video ram bandwidth is what pushes you 1000 points above me in 06
Athens[2004]
09-25-2006, 01:54 AM
SaFrOuT@ Τhe distance between smd' and waterblock is very low , and the waterblock is a bit small so i taped around the core to avoid the block contact with the smd's [on a simple block mevement eg ]
@chron I dont know if mem's do the job only couse those two card's [x1800xl-7900gs] are totaly different core-pcb ect ect. [btw the 7900gs rams are hynix 1.4ns]

To my surprise a 7300GT SLi setup is on par /slighlty faster than a 7900GS.
At least for benchmarking. Might be different with games, especially those that arent SLi optimised.

Hmm, not convinced.
My DX9 GT4 in 03 was 189fps with highly overclocked 7300GT but top score with 7900GS was 207fps with stock as far as I can tell. True the total score is about the same but we're running volt mods and bench specific values. 5 quads should beat 2 quads after all ....

I didnt look at specific numbers.
With untouched cards I got 15x fps in Aquamark at 3500Mhz.
3D Marks are better with the 7900GS, considering he is using a Allendale.
But I am quite impressed by the 7300GT setup, I thought the gap would be much bigger.
Keep in mind that he is watercooling his card. With the stock cooler scores are lower than what I got running at stock coolers. But again, its Allendale vs. Conroe, so it aint comparable.
Nonetheless the 7900Gs is a damn nice bang for the buck card and 2 of those cards are really,really fast for their money.

Wow that looks kickass :)
I have a question for you Athens, I have a 805D @ 3.6GHZ on Air I have a MSI X1900XT and I get 18000 in 3dmark 2003. I'm thinking of getting a E6300 and clocking it to 3GHZ. I would get a bigger score in 3dmark with E6300 Correct?
Is this a good watercooler to start off with, I don't have lots of money atm but I want something easy to install.
http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2362.htm
Would this allow me to push my Chip to 4GHZ without throlling back because my Artic Freezer 7 pro can not perform properly at such high temps?
Athens[2004]
10-10-2006, 11:07 PM
On 01-03 you will see a nice performance ,on 05-06 you will see also but not huge as 3dmark01 . As for the watercooling kit it''s an entry one . I suggest to start reading [make a search on xtremesystems eg watercooling kit'' ] so u can set up a custom one .

On air the card likes delta 40, on phase change the card likes best delta 0 or negativ delta. Somthing like -20 or so (about 235 in Nibitor).

Thats is rite man. Now click o.k, o.k and it will ask you to restart. After restart it will show 24x8 pipes in rivatuner. Then go and test it. I think the 7900GS are just leftover 7900GT's that needed to be pushed out the door, so they mask 4 pipes and a vertex unit and lower the prices to push them as G80 becomes popular. Why would they go through the extra work which = $$$ to laser cut the pipes? Just software mask them and the average noob should be content rite?

Does not work for my Galaxy I am afraid. I tried it before with earlier rivatuner and no joy with this one....

Guys I have some bad news:( and some good news:) . The bad news first. After failing to do the soft mod to unlock the extra pipes, I though it was merely a bios issue and tried flashing my Asus 7900gs with the BFG 7900gs bios. Well it froze halfway through flashing and once I restarted of course I got no picture:( I wonder If I can get it RMA'D??
Now the good news is that once I fubard my card I went out to get a BFG 7900gs oc to see what the hype is all about. Got home, put her in, loaded windows and tried the soft mod pretty much right away and what do you know..it worked...so I'm here scratching my head wondering if it's a bios or software issue at all. After a few minutes I decided to replace the stock hsf with my moded cpu hsf and start testing the card out. Once I cleaned the goop off the core guess what I saw...the card is using a GT core.:D So BFG simply use GT cores and disable the pipes with a soft mod.
Here is proof for the non believers,

Nice find and congrats on the "luck" to get the BFG, that's certainly a very good card for the money now. :toast:
I wonder if any other manufacturers are doing similar ?

I might take a look at a BFG 7900GS tomorrow at my work (UK computer component reseller). Are the unlock able ones from a specific batch IE is there anything I could lookout for on the box, or do I have to look at the Core?

Not much I can tell you, the box is pretty clear of stickers. I can tell you that its the BFG 7900GS OC. You just have to take the chance and see.:)

Hello everybody. On this mod, for giving 1.5V to GPU, do i have to short both 1.4 and 1.3 points to ground? I mean 1.3+1.4=1.5 ? Thanks.

but the real question is,
can the GT cores overclock as well as the GS cores?
there was a guy who took down tons of GT records with a GS because the GS cores overclock much better.
so would a deffective GT core even overclock that well?
i should really try to push my GS these days.

Just in the middle of testing a pair of GT cored BFG GS cards.:D
Will post some results tonight.

Just flashed my GS to a GT, noticed no affect on stable clock speeds. Picked up around 600 points in 06.

damned impressive clocks man. I'm only able to acheive 700 core on 1.5v and 720 on 1.55v. Ram I can get to 880 with 2.25v, but my graphite keeps seeming to wear off, and after some time, I'm down to 2.2 volts and only able to do 860. Then after some more time, it fades more into the 2.1's and I'm down to 840. Still can't complain though :) Broke 10k in 05 and am not ram limited anyway. Should have gone with bfg. Well done!!
