Does anyone know if I get one of the cheaper 7900 GTs from XFX if I will be able to clock it up to the XXX Edition speeds? Also, will the NvSilencer 5 Rev3 work on the 7900 GT series?
 
Overclocking these are hits and misses... either you'll get a good clock or it will be nothing more than stock. If you want XXX Speeds, pay the XXX price.


As for the silencer, you'd have to cut it to make it fit since the cards are shorter.

Nice reply smartass and thanks for not helping whatsoever. I already checked out Newegg and got my answer anyways prick.


To answer the OP, you might be able to. My 7900gt is at 544/1604 on auto-OC, I haven't manually tried to push it further. I guess I could do taht today :D
 
My XFX 7900GT Extreme (520/1500) "only" goes up to 545/1850 stable. That's 15MHz less on the core, but 200MHz over the memory of the XXX version stock speeds. I'm happy.

I only have a 350W PSU running an overclocked Athlon X2, overclocked 7900GT, 2 hard drives and 2 optical drives, so that might be one of the problems. :p

Damn, amazing memory OC! I'm curious as to why the memory chips aren't heat sinked :eek:

I think some of the Samsung 1.4ns chips are really just 1.1ns chips binned for demand instead of speed (@ 1.4ns timings)... or 7900GT cards are shipping with the memory voltage raised to the upper specified voltage instead of the minimum specified voltage. :p

So if we're supposed to refer to Google for everything, what is the point of these forums?
 
My XFX 7900GT is sitting on my doorstep. I will see how it overclocks when I get home from work. Will my Zalman vf700cu fit on it from my 7800gt?
 
How about you guys go flame the following people for not using Google to find every answer :rolleyes:

Seriously, use your brains. This is a forum where you are to discuss and ask questions. This is not a forum where some "noob" who just registered needs to come in and be a smartass when people are asking legitimate questions.

Either you help people or you don't post at all. Thanks and have a great day kids.

I was posting because it was funny, and you attempted to use a join date for which has nothing to do with anything, which makes it even more funny.

I can't say I miss when I was a kid and thought immature and moronic actions were "funny" in any way...

Thanks for the info on the cooler, so should I get some RAM sinks to maybe make them last longer, then?

Ramsinks are always a good idea with open modules, they really can help out significantly.
