Quick question that is kind of on topic...
i am getting tired of waiting on the "superclocked" evga 7900gtxs. I want to order something else, and today!
Overall, what is the best for overclocking and sli? Regular gtxs overclocked, or 7900gts with the volt mod etc? I will be on air cooling.
Any info on how to do the volt mods would be appreciated.
Thx for your input!
Well the gtx's with voltmods would rape, but if you were comparing vmodded gt's to non-vmodded gtx's then the gt's would rape.
Well are they both easy to v mod? If that was the same on both cards, then I would go for the 7900gtx...
Probally easier to buy a card or 2 in the states next week. Is there any stock over there? lol
Going to san diego on Wednesday
There might be stock in retail chains, but online there is none. Also, the GTX are even easier to vmod in my opinion. You get much more control over voltage with a variable pot then by connecting legs on the voltage controller of a gt....but thats just me.
Cool, thx. I have cancelled my order. Will pick up 1 7900gtx BFG tomorrow, another once I am back from Cali!
Is there a link for vmodding the 7900gtx? Thanks
Thx, looks simple enough. Soldering the resistors is easy, but what does it mean "Set at maximum resistance of 100K ohms. Lower resistance to increase Memory voltage"
Is that just telling you what you are doing by installing the 100omz resistor?
Thx again, and thx for the link
Guys, I was just trying to hit 900 with my memory and got a "error" report from coolbits when testing. Am I really that unlucky that my memory wont even do the rated 900 or is coolbits just that crappy? Ive read somewhere something sort of strange but anyway, someone claimed that raising the PCIe bus helps get you higher OCs...
Please help me.
Unless I am missing something, your memory is only rated to 820
"Memory Clock Speed: 1640MHz (vs. 1600MHz standard)"
I have used 100-110 pci freq - never hurt anything, but I do not know if it helped....
try it!
:)
AFAIK it is 1.1ns memory. Anyone knows if Im right?
Well your right and wrong. The ram can do 900mhz with proper timings, but NV has set them much tighter than standard spec.
Ok so I assume that means that whenever coolbits gives me an error that is more than likely the limit right?
No, I think coolbits has it limits, it just wont go over 900mhz unless you mod your bios to say 850, then coolbits lets you clock 20percent higher than whatever memory clock you have. So do that, but I though you were saying artifcating and stuff when trying to push above 900.....
You know that coolbits makes you test the speed before letting you select it. Thats where I am getting the error while its doing that pretesting. Do you think its safe to ignore that or am I better off taking its advice?
ahhh, easy enough, disable the test function :)
going by memory (use riva tuner)
go to power user
then to Riva tuner 2.0 rc 15.8 \overclocking\global
click the light bulb and give it a value of 1
this will dis able any "test" feature....
I get 720/925. Coolbits detect 709/908 as optimal. BFG 7900GTX. Currently running it @700/900, it runs extremely cool. Haven't seen the temp goes over 50C yet.

Is the 820Mhz clock stable for 24/7 use..? My ram goes to 940 without artifacts (no heatsinks), but I can go all the way up to 980/990/1000Mhz with artifacts.. I even managed 1 run thru 05 at 1010Mhz ram..Quote:

The beast in my sig is cooling the card.. :)
My problem is that I cant get Riva Tuner to show any Overclocking options. I dont know if its my 84.21 driver or the 7900 but it seems not to be supported.
Mr. KAKAROT,
I followed your instructions but still get the test screen...maybe I missed something.
dude, I just installed mine... if that is true I will be CRUSHED
lol
will update in a bit :)
eagerly waiting for your update.. . :-)
WOW, this is gay... beyond gay. LOL... I still see the option, but I cannot even see the card... (on the bottom where u can max changes/overclock)
And the normal way of overclocking won't let me do $hit... (detect optimal 696/883)
gonna stomp this card
:mad:
I was expecting better news but I guess we gonna have to wait for a new version :-( Lame...weak...
