JMke's 7300GT Overclocking Beast

jmke · 17th June 2007, 15:15

Lucky Number 7? I'll find out

You'll get one of these babies:

Stock heatsink is pretty decent affair, cooling for GPU with good silver putty

My core apparently is a G73-VZ-N-B1(?)

the memory is from Samsung, DDR3, 32Mb per chip

K4J55323QG-BC12
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semi...K4J55323QG.htm
Rated for 800MHz / 1.6Ghz (DDR)

Let the fun & modding begin!

bro what sort off mounting holes ?
nice looking card for its price

jmke · 17th June 2007, 15:29

what sort of the mounting holes? the round ones, 4 of them

17th June 2007, 15:34

I hope this card gives me more fun then my crappy 6600 ( that without vmods oc like crap )

jmke · 17th June 2007, 15:41

97.44 drivers doesn't recognize the card, had to use the one from the driver cd, version 93.81

Stock clocks are GPU: 500 // MEM: 747. Quite a bit better than the 7300GT 256Mb DDR2 card, that one has stock GPU: 350 // MEM: 333.

Stock sucks, give us the first OC numbers

jmke · 17th June 2007, 16:31

I find that stock rules

I've finished my tests earlier this weekend PNY 7300GT DDR2 vs 8500GT, with 8500GT having overall lead over 7300GT is mostly all benches, only when 7300GT was OC'ed (stock 350, oc: 510, mem stock 333, oc 350... :/) it caught up with 8500GT at stock, once 8500GT was overclocked, gap widened nicely (max oc on 8500GT 702 (stock: 459) core, 470 mem (stock 400)... yah also DDR2 on that one it seems).

7300GT DDR3 scores on par (slightly better) at stock , than 8500GT at stock; will be interesting to see how they will match up when both are overclocked

Massman · 17th June 2007, 16:34

702 core without even pushing it? Me thinks that 85gt + vmod + dice/cascade/ln² = 1GHz core

jmke · 17th June 2007, 16:39

ya they are not bad, but overclock same as other G80 cards, with jumps, 27Mhz in this case; pencil vmods: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?p=3834415

he mentions getting to 880Mhz GPU, not correct, it'll be 891 or 864

Massman · 17th June 2007, 16:42

you should give the pencil mods a go, it seems that the card's core scales well when upping the Vgpu.

Geoffrey: do you know how to alter the bios in order to get rid of the 27MHz. jumps?
