    Cool nVidia 7300GT loveliness

    These beauties seem to be hitting the shelves now and the price<>performance ratio looks impressive.

    Review here.

    More info here.

    I'm seriously considering one for my new HTPC, and Gigabyte do one with a passive heatsink here, albeit not a GDDR3 version. None in UK at present though, will post a question about their availability in scan.care and see when they're due.

    Thought this would be of interest to people.........

    Sweet, looks like it will be popular with those building a system for others, keeps the price down and the performance looks good - better than the 6600gt apparently. I hope these will be here soon, as for some the 7600 is still out of budget.

    Bit gutting for me as a 6600GT owner

    Still, perhaps my next upgrade will be a 8300GT or whatever they call the next gen.

    I notice that, despite being a 7600 chip, they have Hypermemory enabled on them so I do wonder if you can trust the amount of memory quoted in adverts.

    Wonder what they will try and charge for this, US price for the gigabyte $80, looks a great card, if the price is right.

    Scan showing a 7300GT for &#163;66 on today only, but the spec shows only 4 Pipes?

    Well, it seems fair value for money but then again you can get a 7600GS for under £80, which is more card for your money.
    For £13 difference, i wouldnt get a 7300.

    That card has too much ram at too slow a clock speed.

    I shall wait for the GDDR3 ram cards to turn up before I pass judgement.

    Club 3D nVidia GeForce 7300GT 256MB DDR2

    Looks like the DDR2 version, and shows 8 pipes, there are too many variations on this card, it is hard to track

    These look really great cards, some benchmarks over on xs have 2x7300gt beating a 7900gt.

    There is also a galaxy version that comes with a zalman as stock

    Can you clock a spelling bee, one question mark would suffice

    Aren't Palit doing some over-clocked GT versions? Definately are for the 7300GS, that looked good:
