7900GTX @ 1GHz Core

[DeathReborn]

Did a quick search and found this not posted.

We all know the Radeons went to 1GHz Core on LN2, now we get to see how G71 handles it. I know it's synthetic and there'll probably be a fair few posts about how "synthetic sucks" but here they are none the less.

8786 from a single 7900GTX isn't too shabby, probably wouldn't last long though. I'd love to see SLI scores. Should hit 12-13k in SLI.

Thoughts and opinions?

very nice indeed.

Amazing. Sampsa did the same thing with an X1800XT but it wasn't benchable at 1GHz. Congrats to Shamino.

amazing

lol control panel gets well comfused at -92 lol

i'd be happy if the gtx that's coming tomorrow will be clocked to 700mhz

nice, very nice.

Reminds me of my 1ghz P3 now, what a warrior that processor was.

Sweet! imagine quad sli! 20k atleast?

I can't wait until the day when GPU's break the 1GHz barrier at stock settings... probably will be another few years and process shrinks before that's possible.

forgive a noobs ignorance but why can't gpu clock scale like cpu ?

on topic: i am thinking the fx-60 was the bottleneck in that. i GHz 7900 gtx is just crazy.
aslo look at the memory speed. 990x2..amazing

ok now that i read the thread it seems the fx-60 is working at 3.5 ghz too. and its not the bottleneck

 

[firewolfsm]

it's the memory

Ahh... People and their Epenis scores.

Yep, let the Gigahertz race begin!

cpus go through a great deal more optimization by hand. gpu designs are largely synthesized...thats what i heard once.
