xfx 7900gt

[hndsmpete]

hey guys, so i have been in the evga step up for 3 weeks and moved one spot for the gt co superclock, which is find to be rediculous. Im all for it, but if im still at 195 in the queue, its going to take way to long. So i have been looking around for other cards, how are xfx cards? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150149
Its only 30mhz of the superclock and they have em in stock! So how are they

I have the 550/1630 xfx 7900gt, cant really complain. Its clocks are almost on par with the 512 7800gtx so its pretty fast.

I have that XFX 520/1500 model (although not the newer one with the black PCB) and I was able to hit 580/870 stock and 645/870 with 1.3v. Very happy with mine once I replaced the noisy stock cooler.

Some review I read recently said that XFX and Leadtek (IIRC) were the only manufacturers that paid extra to NVIDIA to get pre-binned cores. Trying to dig it up for you but I don't remember exactly where I read it.
