7300GT SLI >> single 7900GT , really?

**Fr3ak** · 07-16-2006, 12:48 PM

They are hardlocked, unfortunately.
And the DDR3 models you can buy are too expensive if you ask me.

I flashed Palit 7300GT to ASUS EN7600GT Bios

running @ 560/1400

16 pipelines is amazing

but now I cant do that

just waiting for the new version of RivaTuner

If it can be done

All the 7300GT ,7600GS and 7600GT users will be happy

but 16pipelines 7800GS user will be angry

It jsut great , i have a 7600gt , and i can buy a 7300gt and flash it with a 7600gt bios and use sli for a cheap price!

The 7300gt you flahshed its ddr3 right?

http://www.trustedreviews.com/articl...ge=7229&head=0 they did a Mixed SLi , i'm thinking how much can you mix , like a 6600gt plus a 7300gt or something.

**milkcafe** · 07-23-2006, 05:50 AM

that can only mix-SLI with G73 core GPU

7300GT 7600GS and 7600GT

you cant mix 6800NU with 6600GT ,or 6200A with PCX5950 before ,right?

OMG

Your card running 12pixel/5 vertex ?
Because score too low

**over@locker886** · 07-23-2006, 06:32 AM

nothing

**Fr3ak** · 07-23-2006, 06:53 AM

I didn't get it.
Did you unlock the pipes by flashing the bios now or didn't you?
Someone mentioned that they are hardcut, so no way to enable the missing pipelines.
You should see a increse in scores after the "mod".
7300Gt uses 8pixel 4 vertex shaders. Yours show 12/5 now, which would mean you can unlock them.
I am confused. Please enlighten me

**bl1zZ** · 07-23-2006, 03:19 PM

Well it looks like he unlocked the card

If it's possible, I'll buy them tomorrow...but the 256mb version, or do you think that unlocking isn't possible with the 256mb DDR3 version?

Regards
Dennis

**Moonraker™** · 07-23-2006, 03:52 PM

So can the 7300GT 256MB DDR3 be unlocked or not? The standard / all other 7300GT for me don't even deserve to be in the 7 series. But I'm desperate to know the answer to this!

**EOCFqwerty** · 07-23-2006, 04:38 PM

Sounds like the GDDR3 version only

**BulldogPO** · 07-24-2006, 04:51 AM

I can't find any GDDR3 models from germany yet

Had a look this morning and they were out of stock, must have just had a delivery - get your 7300's while they're still hot

Well spotted Moonraker. I suppose they sell out pretty quick as those in the know will be buying 2x of them.

**Demo** · 07-24-2006, 08:59 AM

-100Mhz at the geometric clock... how much more overclock did that help ? i might try that on my 7900GT

**Demo** · 07-24-2006, 09:20 AM

i cant seem to flash to a negative delta clocks..

**Max Tractor** · 07-25-2006, 04:47 AM

picked up my dabs value it is an inno3d 7300GT 256MB DDR3, a quick play in 05 Venice 2700 - 5545 - 628 - 819(Official 91.31)

Tried to unlock with riva tuner, the pipes and the vertex shader show as disabled, and you can check them to unlock, but upon reboot rt still shows 8pp,4vp, must try the drivers mentioned

**milkcafe** · 07-25-2006, 04:56 AM

install the 84.66 for 7300GT

91.31 is a slow driver

Im hard to believe that my pipeline is unlocked

3dmark05 is only 4985 , 12pipes 7600GS or GT will be 5800+

maybe next version Rivatuner can do that
