and i wouldn't be surprised if a card that bad started artifacting on certain games at stock speeds...Mathersalan said:Wow that has to suck for a video card like that to only auto detect at that speed
i personally would refrain from PNY as well... but Sen likes to shop locally... he often does.Valk said:your much better to go with somthing like the evga/xfx/bfg/anyothermakerusingreference for simplicity sake. the volt mods are straight forward, and you will get a hell of a great card for the money. But i have seen some people doing well with the palif. I didnt read those threads i posted through completly for performence, but im sure they just like any other gs when you get aggressive.
wow... 630mhz gpu from stock 450mhz... all with stock volts, lol... man nvidia cards really OC like crazy sometimes.Nevrsumr22 said:I fried my biostar I got from the egg so I went to BB and picked up the PNY. Man that card was a garbage OC'r. Got back on NE and saw the EVGA for the same price so I got that one and that is the best of the 3 I had by far. Running speeds in my sig with no mods and not even pushing it. Actually the slider on the memory wont let me go any further so I don't even know it's limits. I don't care right now because I don't want to fry another one. I'm going to do the trade in for the DX10 in a few months anyway.
I have no idea how that works though. Can anyone tell me how to trade up at EVGA? I did register with them after I got the card.
Interesting if this is truly a brand issue I think I will take both of them back. Not just for the fact that they barely auto above stock but to make a point that I do not approve of how PNY does its buisness.Nevrsumr22 said:Got back on NE and saw the EVGA for the same price so I got that one and that is the best of the 3 I had by far.
a 7900gs bfg?? why would you spend $199 on a GS... just go with a GT.Sentential said:Interesting if this is truly a brand issue I think I will take both of them back. Not just for the fact that they barely auto above stock but to make a point that I do not approve of how PNY does its buisness.

When it comes to nVidia, here's my favorites:Nevrsumr22 said:+1 and to be honest I'd take a look at XFX as well. Take a look at the reviews out there. They are known to clock high as ish. I didn't get one because I was trying to make up for the shipping I lost on the RMA from trying to go with a no-name brand then having it fry. My XFX 6800XT went from 350/1000 to 450/1250 althought this EVGA I have is great as well.
