eVGA 7900 GTO for $250

[stereo555]

Ok a little bad news and added info for anyone looking/thinking of doing the step-up program to a 7900GTO ... its NOT going to happen !

I emailed Evga about this and got a relpy today .... and they (Jacob) said the 7900GTO will NOT be added to the step-up program .

Most likely b/c they don't want them anymore...

Sorry if I'm a little out of touch, but what is the step-up program?
-C

Thanks Stereo, I had not realized they were offering this deal. Glad I got the card when I did (last week), a few months back it would have been a different card, and sad mistake.

g0dM@n or whoever... I'm using Coolbits 2.0 to overclock my 7900GTO (awsome card, so glad i got it now) but it only lets me take it up to 800Mhz with the slider.. I have it clocked to stock gtx now 650/800 but I wanted to see if the memeory would go higher.. Should I be using a differnt tool? or is there a tick to it?

Thanks guys!!!

Yeh i cant go higher than 800 in coolbits ethier... What program are you useing

 

[g0dM@n]

Rivatuner is the way to go.

Just google "rivatuner download" and you'll find it... think the most current is 1.6 or something.

Thanks!! Thats what I used to use at one point in time but found coolbits just easier for what I wanted to do.. I'll find the new version of it.. Running at 685/800 right now and it still has headroom..

EDIT: Full Load temps are right around 53c When should I start to worry?

I know with ATI cards, even 70C is nothing to worry about... but I know that nVidia has the smaller die, so I'm only going to guess that 60C should be your max... they can handle lots more, but I would see what others have to say.

Rivatuner 2.0RC16

Precisely.

Got a nice little e-mail from a nice little someone

 

[natewildes]

This guy got the e-mail as well:
Link to Anandtech Forums
I asked them via e-mail if it would drop in price, and they sent me an e-mail telling me the 239.99 price, not sure if it's official, so nobody quote me
