Who has a WORKING 7900?

MSI 7900GT @ 570/900 (555/800 for daily use) working dandy for over 1.25 months or more.
 
My second EVGA 7900 CO, it's next to the first one in SLI mode... haven't had any problems. Had them about a month replaced a well working 7800 gt which paid for 90% of the first 7900.. what a deal !


I did read they were having 6-8% RMA issues on those cards, before they went to another process of testing them and although a high number , the odds are still very much with you.


I'd buy another one without hesitation.
 
My 7900GTX works just fine. as well as my 7950 im sure. (thats on the way).
 
I´ve got an ASUS 7900 GT, I don´t OC it yet. Every game I try runs OK (Oblivion, FEAR, Quake4, Doom3, Far Cry, GRAW, CoD2..etc..). 3DMark 2005 and 3DMark2006 works without a problem, the same for Aquamark 2003 and an HDRL stress test.
The only problem I see is the card always fails on 3DMark 2003, in the Rag-Troll test only when it finalizes. Some artifact also appears from time to time on battle of proxycom (3Dmark 2003). After this failures, I can run again 3DMark 2005, 2006 or any game without any artifact or Hang-up.

I don´t understand this streange behaviour....I want to stress the card till it death to assure it is faulty or no cause I would like to replace the Fan, and put on it a Zalman, but I don´t want to loose my Warranty.
 
BFG 7900GT OC has been running great since day 1! Had to switch to a VF900 though cos stock cooler is a noisy bugger! In my TJ08 I get 42c load :D Fantastic card and even better cooler!
 
Well I started with 2, only 2 weeks ago. They were built in the last week of march, after 1.5 hours of stress testing, now I have one. I'll be stress testing the other one later, and I'm sure I'll be down to none.......

Since we've seen all the news about bad 7900s, how many people have a working card at the moment that they have had for at least a two months with no issues?
right here :)

Postive mental attitude then? :D
 
Just got my BFG 7900GTOC in the mail, slapped a Zalman VF900 on it and it is running great at 33C :eek:.
 
I posted earlier in this thread about my then working 7900gtx .. an update to that is ..well



It's still working ...yay!

:)
 
mine is still going...haven't had a single problem with it...might be time for an gts though. i need more powah! :p
 
Had an XFX 7900gt, volt modded to 1.55vcore, and 2.23vmem, had it running 720/920

Then it broke. RMA time I suppose. And no, I don't want to hear about warranty voiding.

Then you probably should have kept that to yourself...
 
Because I'm sure they can and will link my hardforum username to my purchase :rolleyes:

That is not even close to what I meant.

Rather... what I meant is that whenever someone posts that they are wrongfully RMAing an item, whether intentional or not, get bombarded with a shitstorm of posts telling them how much they suck and how they are making everyone else pay more for video cards.

To avoid all that, would it not have been smarter to just leave it at your card died, and go about your merry way of wrongfully RMAing your card without telling anyone... and thereby avoiding the problems that ALWAYS follow?

Still have one in an older rig. Still works like a charm! :D
 
running mine at 573/1.57 since march. no problems at all.
 
2 7900 GT KO in SLI, both @ 640/1580, 1.4V voltmodded.

This setup is pretty sweet, I can play F.E.A.R. @ 1680x1050, 4X aa/16X AF and average 79 FPS...
 
Who resurrected this thread?

Although I will report that my 7900GTX SLI setup is working fine, I even OCed it for a 3DMark06 run (but it got a worse score somehow...) I'm leaving mine at stock. I mean, come on! At 1280x1024, do a pair of 7900GTXs need OCing?

um...that would be me :D
 
My EVGA 7900 Gt 512 has been running great ever since early September. I wish I could find another one for less than 300. I dont really play that many games, and I dont overclock. My system also runs on air and is not watercooled.
 
NECRO!

I had an XFX 7900GT which worked fine for 3 months then died, the replacement is working fine so far...
 
wow now someone went digging reeealy far for this. I have one 7900GT that works now after I had to RMA the first Two since they were 1st gen and had the heat issue that so many Evga cards had.

ive had my 7900gt since about april or may and havnt had any problems out of it, thankfully, and its OCed to the specs in my sig.

i want to get another one for sli but am hesitant since they seem to be hit and miss.
