My new toy arrived today :D
Leadtek 7900GS 256MB. 450MHz/1330MHz
Attachment 50900
Attachment 50901
First result with default cooler and no mods. 580MHz core 1480Mhz mem.
Attachment 50902
This result is not very good, because there is some driver issues or incompability with Gigabyte DS4.
More results later.

Quick 3Dmark01. Lod 3 in nature.
Attachment 50906
Push it further man! :D.
I got an MSI 7900GS in my PC (got it off woot), buying a waterblock for it today. Does 500/800 on stock air STABLE no mods, havn't pushed it any further yet. Good luck with yours ;).
I will!!
But first, I want to know limits of this card air cooled and without mods/tweaks.
:banana: Easy 10K
Attachment 50908
Very nice. I'm not going to expect 10k because I only have a single cored venice @ 2.5GHz, and I'm too lazy to up it to 2.8GHz for some benching.. but I cant wait to get my card under water. :D
Great results!
Does the card support HDCP?
What is difference to 7900GT ??
7900Gt has 24 pipes.
7900GS has 20 pipes.
they got about the same clocks but the GS seems to be some 40 euro cheaper in europe (dunno price diffrence in US).
and last week woot.com had a sale were the GS was like 130/140 dollars orso.
It should. Box says so :rolleyes:Quote:

600/1800:
Mem on this card is very good.
Attachment 50923
Yep but the memory isn't what is limiting the performance. The core is :(. Maybe there is a pencil vmod for the core of this card?

I will do 1.3V or 1.4V mod tonight.
Default Vcore is 1.2V
660/1820 Default cooler(1.4V):
Easy 11K :clap:
Attachment 50926
I'm confused by those vmod pix, can someone enlighten me? :p:
Lower picture : Post 640
red 1.25
yellow 1.30
red + yellow 1.35
Purple 1.40
purple + red 1.45
purple + yellow 1.50
purple + red + yellow 1.55
So all points connected = 1.55V
I just connected D511 (purple) to ground and it give 1.4V
It's easy, trust me:D
So i just pencil all the red & yellow spots for 1.35?
You have to connect them totally, so use conductive paint or something similar.
Where can I get a conductive pen?
This card is unbelievable. Price ~190 € (or lower)

I could test this card in "low end" pc if someone is interested. (DFI ultra-d, AMD 64 3200+ 1GB BH-5)

Just ordered an Asus 7900GS for 200€ :) Can't complain. I'll post my findings when I have my new rig.
Nice! Let us know your experiences when you get that.Quote:

Next move: Watercooling and more voltage :D
So where did you buy your conductive pen/ink?
You can buy silver paint from electronic shops. I'm not using it right now. I use different method :D (Wire to ground from D511).Quote:

And by the way, congrats on the promotion, NickS
That card is really a very nice bang for the buck. I would have gotten one if I didnt buy the SLi setup.
I think im gonna buy one for my brothers rig ...once they are available for <200€.

Ty. Do you think Autozone or something would carry it?Quote:

very nice card!
I ordered mine from woot.com and just got mine today. Paid $145 for my 7900GS. Ordered two, but one of them is defective, so returning the broken one.
In the meantime, I replaced the stock cooler on the good one with a VF900 kit, and did the 1.4v vmod. Currently benching at 655/880 will post some more later.

Hard to tell...it can be used to repair rear window heating systems for cars.
http://webtronics.stores.yahoo.net/simicopen8.html
Yes. This will work for sure!
Nice results... I have the MSI version of this card on order ($190 on eBay)... i'll post some results when I get my system set up.:)
Same. Got mine of woot. Max I could get was 1700 on RAM, no ramsinks. Stock cooler too. 525 core but I didn't want to push it any further on stock coolin. Gave me about 8563 in 05 with a 3000+ @ 2.5GHz
ive just been browsing a lil and im seeing that the pre-order price for the 7950GT is 260 euro :/
That price is bound to go down once their available wich will also make the 7900GS drop in price.
so 1.4 u connect only the purple right ?not the yellow and red with it?Quote:

You connect the left end of resist D511 to ground point for 1.4v
Here is a picture from the big 7900GT vmod thread
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...asy1-4vmod.jpg
To make the circuit connection I used this. Local B&M Radioshack carries it

thanks for the help. any chance u know what ur actual voltage was? doesnt really matter but just curious.Quote:

After switching to a VF900 and a few vmods, I am at 1.55v and have hit 700 Core. If I bench 700/660(stock memory), it passes Deep Freeze fine, but if I even do 700/800 Deep Freeze craps out, and I get a flickering black screen to/out of desktop.
So whats going on....does my card have a bad memory controller or something? Or is increase in VCore causing a drop in voltage on memory? dunnnoo....

MCW55, with the 6800/7800 mounting kit. It should work, these cards have the same holes as the 6800/7800 iirc. If it doesn't I'm sure I can rig it on there somehow :p:.
I have Swiftech MCW50 + FX kit and it fits perfectly.Quote:

Nice, thanks!
That seems pretty damn good. These are SLI ready too...hmmm...
I am going to watch prices on these.
Of course, that is OC'd with a much better processor than I'll have, but...
nice marks man :clap:
whats the max clocks without mods?
It's in the first post, 580/1480
Max clocks are 610/1800 without mods. :clap:Quote:

Anyone else notice how bad the stock heatsink is? I pulled off the factory heatsink and there are grooves in the heastsink. Running a fingernail across it you can definetly feel them.
i would really like to see those scores! :DQuote:

Agreed these 7900GS cards look like some awsome Fun. Id definatly be interested in the results from a AMD setup.:slobber:

Thanks a lot SF3D!! :D now i see what scores would i get from 7900GS
any 2k1/2k3 scores (if not a problem) :rolleyes: ?
EDIT (again): is it really enough with that 350W PSU from HEC for 7900GS?
It is actually a beautifull card :)
i got myself one aswell. And on stock volts it oc'd all the way up to 580 on the core and 1600 on the mem. Then i put 1.5v on the core and 730MHz core was perfectly stable :O now i have 24/7 settings of 1.4v on the core combining it with 675MHz core. that together with a 2.4GHz AMD i hit 8750 05 marks, quite nice if you ask me... i'll go SLI soon it think

I bought an evga yesterday and it came with the 7900GS sticker but behind i can see the previous sticker and it's written 7900GT. If someone didn't understand what i said i can put some pictures.
So i ask if can i flash to the 7900GT bios. Can I?
Try to unlock pipes with RivaTuner first... But I guess it won't work...
Some more people here with vmodded 7900GS? Ich got mine now (Palit/Xpertvision) and I am stable running this nice card @ 658/1586 without any mod (geo +0).
But I guess layout is different - could you please have a look at this? Do your cards look the same? Or am I looking in the worng area? ;) I don't even find the starting point...

I couldn't unlock it but it shows the masked pipes e vertex... Any sugestion?
My card is diferent. it's just like the 7900GT pcb
You have a nice case ;)

I can't unlock :\
how is it 1800mhz when on the ati tool it says 400-455? mhz mem clock?
ATI Tool is a little bugged.
It displays only 1/2 of the memory speed with my card, guess its the same for 7900GS.
So 400Mhz is in fact 800Mhz DDR, which is theoretically 800*2=1600Mhz.
