7900GS vs 7900GT

[zerga]

With the 7900GS at 150 and the 7900GT at 200, the price difference is relatively small. However, I wanted to know which card would give the optimal performance at overclocked speeds. I've heard that the 7900GS can overclock very well and the 7900GT can also overclock decently. My question is, would the 7900GT provide a substantial performance increase, around 20%?, over the 7900GS at top overlcocked speeds, or would the performance increase be minimal? Thank you for any help

I recently had a 7900 GS overclocked like mad, and it was seriously outrunning my 7900 GT. Granted, the GT only had the factory BFG overclock on it, but it was still outclipping it pretty significantly.

Both the gs and gt can be made using the same reference design, and at stock run at the same frequencies. When overclocked, assuming you overclock both the same, the gt will come out on top. But if you're comparing overclocked gs to stock gt, it'll be able to walk over the gt.

There are good easy voltmods that'll give the card new life.
