    I was about to say the exact same thing. Thats nothing. Most of these easily get to GTX speeds, probably higher with 1.4v core like the GTX.

    7950gx2 is powerful enough, i don't think superclock is neccesory.
    Unless you want to break the 3dmark scrore.

    Ok, i just read the news. It's not the 7950gx2, it's 7950gt.
    What is the point by buying a graphic card has a G71 gpu with lower clock than msi7900gto. 7900gto is much more powerful and scan has a promotion on it for only £173 in VAT.

    If you know how to flash graphic card bios, you can have a 7900gtx at a 7900gto price. Bio flashing will void your warranty. But if you search the web, and learn enough, you'll be able to do it like piece of cake.

    I reckon its just Nvidia's way of shifting all the cores that were returned with the faulty memory. Stick some new memory on there, change the name a little bit, make them a little bit cheaper and voila. I'm known to be slightly cynical though

    Even you said nvidia replace the memory for the 7900gto from a faulty card.
    It Maybe true, but you pay a 7950gt price for a 7900gtx performance.
    Is that worth it or not?
    I would say they're trying to clear out some G71 gpus, and make some space for their new next gen high-end G8X gpu.

    Whatever the reason, we're getting damn fast cards for £170
