NVIDIA launched three new products to be the successor of 7600GT in
September; with much better performance and acceptable price, it strikes
against ATI mid-high graphic cards.
One of this three new products is 7900GTO, with the same pipelines and core
frequency but lower memory frequency in 1320MHz.

7900GTO Core/Mem 650/1320Mhz
7900GTX Core/Mem 650/1600Mhz
What’s the difference between 7900GTX and 7900GTO?
The GTO cost higher then 7900GS, what’s the real diference?
We take the only option with MSI NX7900GTO-T2D512E for test. It packed
by hi-end color box with bright color.

Ready to test SLI mode

Graphic cards consume more and more power watts for 3D performance,
especially in dual VGA mode such as SLI and CrossFire. If you want SLI, 500
W PSU is necessary.
A good PSU can be use for a long time; so, please don’t be stingy in buying
PSU. Corsair HX620W is the best PSU I have ever used; it always keeps cold
and silent even in full SLI or CrossFire test loading.

7900GTO Overclock result: 705MHz core/ 1700MHz Mem.
It’s very easy to OC your 7900GTO even over 7900GTX.

What can I say? It’s obviously that 7900GTO and 7900GTX are “Twinsâ€! 7900
GTO has a little bit lower memory clock but only HALF price, it’s worth to buy
it right now! Seems like ATI 9500NP refresh to 9700 and overclock to 9700
Pro, that worth a big value!
7900GTO has almost the same OC ability with 7900GTX. Will 7900GS/ 7950GT
be beat by 7900GTO? According to information from NVIDIA, there are few
7900GTO will be seen in channel. So, if you like it, just buy it.
SLI mode, BIOS upgrade and other advance testing will be coming soon…

About refresh BIOS to 7900GTX, this card direct up to GTX clock 600/1600
MHz and stable, but as my experience, this update is not really useful for
overclock.

7900GTO exactly to be the best value VGA product during whole year 2006,
The graphic pipeline, outlook and components placements all the same as
7900GTX, you only have to refresh the BIOS or easy overclock to make it
become 7900GTX,
Only limited quantity and not enough channel to sell this product is the issue,
hope NVIDIA can supply this great value product more and longer.
 
@windwithme ---- Most of us in India are still on slow connections compared to yours...

Please do us a favour and post thumbnails instead of full pics :).

It takes too much time to load for us.
 
@wwm: Nice review there....

@all: guys cmon, i knew its somewhat irritating when images dont load fast... but a REVIEW is better than NO REVIEW. anyways, as i told darky, i am working on a small tool which should make things easier for mods to make this preety again.
