EVGA screw up?

[nate2020]

I just went out and bought a EVGA 7900 KO GT Superclocked video card, shown here . After the install I went to my clock settings and it read as the card having 790 memory clock when it's suppost to be 1580. Am i getting the lower end of the stick here or am I missing something?


Here is a pic of my default clock settings.

790MHz DDR = 1580MHz effective speed.

double post, doh

memory = DDR (
790 * 2 = 1580

Your card is running as advertised, you're just not seeing the "double" frequency in the display.

Just to explain the above posts a little better: DDR means Double Data Rate, meaning that it's able to send data on the rising and falling edge of the signal. So, the clock you see should be "effectively" doubled, because it's able to send two signals instead of one.

's all good.

You'll make others look like goofs too; Some of these guys are geniuses... and others, jeniuses.

Or as I like to refer to some of them (the "jeniuses" you refer to), GIPT, "Genius(es) In Perpetual Training"

But seriously, Nvidia needs to change the control panel above so it will read something like "790 MHz (1580 MHz effective)" instead of just "790 MHz."
