What am I missing? Not that impressed with the 7800 GTX!

Yep, it's been identified that 3dmark and rivatuner reflect core+40Mhz. So it looks like you were runnng ~ 495/1400. http://www.guru3d.com/newsitem.php?id=2827

And I'm telling you that the control panel reflected otherwise, but believe what you will. It always reflected the proper, stock speed (430/600), and I never made adjustments to that (and still haven't, although I probably should at this point to validate).

Even though you had an NDA, I don't follow you around to see what you've posted in other threads to validate the info on your screenies.

I got a bit tired of all the flaming going on, so I stopped reading about the 7800GTX as the info needed was all around the net.

No, it's not, but you apparently don't read. Stock runs. You're about as bright as a burnt out light bulb.

STOCK, twit. Very simple.

But that's ok. We don't hold it against you that you're a moron.

Your 3dmark05 says 535/1417; even if that figure is not correct, you must have a magical sample of 7800GTX since no one else scores 8600 stock (more like 7700-8000). Plus I dont see why you have to start calling me names right off the bat. You don't know anything about me. Your arrogance is unwanted here.

Since many review sites have showed the same stock scores as what was posted by the Inquirer and xtremesystems, the only moron in this thread is.....can you guess it? Besides even if your card did score 8600 stock, that doesn't give you the right to dismiss their scores since they are perfectly valid. Instead you reverted to trash talking in this whole thread.

I myself was wondering why Ronin was keeping up this argument when so many other people and websites have solidified a stock GTX score in the 7800 range. Oh well, I guess he has the only real GTX in the world and everybody else has lemons
