GTS-V Revision?

[Slaimus]

I got a Rev.C that does 368 mem, and a friend got a Rev. B and it would only OC to about 345 mem.
Is there any systematic OC delta between Rev. B and Rev. C or it is just chance?

Also I got mine from ubid while my friend got it from newegg.

 

[Slaimus]

anyone?

i got a rev b from newegg, and it runs at 360-370, but with plenty of artifacts... I have to clock it down to about 335 to eliminate the artifacts, sloowww memory, but its a great card for the $

I've got a REV C and it overclocks to 365 memory without artifacts, they begin to appear a bit at 370.

The revision only applies to the PCB, not the core components like the GPU or RAM modules. I've both and they are roughly equal in terms of over-clockability. As far as the difference is concerned, you only need to look at both cards to notice. The Rev C appears to have a higher grade of ceramic and the traces are much more polished. If I was to guess, I would say that either Visiontek refined their PCB process or they've contracted another outside vendor for this part (or vice versa).
