JMke's 7300GT Overclocking Beast
 

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 ;)

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

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

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

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 =)

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

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

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?
