Review EVGA 7800 GT PCIe

We had a chance to play with a Geforce 7800 GT card with copper heatsink and apart from the normal test we tried to overclock the card to see what we could gain. You get an overclocked card out of the box as it is clocked at 470 MHz core and 1100 MHz and as every 7800 GT has 20 pipelines.

The card comes in a so-called natural green package that includes two DVI to VGA dongles, S video cable, a small manual and a CD, oh yes we forgot to mention that you actually get 7800 GT PCIe card inside.

We didn’t had any issues with the card but once we performed normal set of tests at reference 470 MHz core and 1100 MHz memory and we tried to overclock it to reach some higher numbers. We could not hit 500 MHz milestone but we did manage to break more than 1200 MHz for the memory. Don’t be disappointed as we got the card stable at 495 MHz core and 1220 MHz memory.

Conclusion

EVGA Geforce 7800 GT is a great card. We like 7800 GT as it gives you great performance for just a little bit more than €300. You can gain great performance with the card that is two times cheaper than Nvidia's flagship 7800 GTX 512 priced at roughly €650 a piece.

You will be able to play all of the games with nice settings and they will run just fine with FSAA and Aniso settings on. We really think that Nvidia did a great job with this card and it just looks like a great option. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money and to get a high end card this card should be taken into consideration. It is fast, when overclocked it will run even faster and from our previous reviews you can easily say that this card with easily beat X1800XL. EVGA likes overclocking and is fighting Gainward and XFX for this interesting market segment.
 
copper heatsink does help. Even xfx 7800GT with copper heatsink clock like mad.

Mine had done 505/1250 without any vmods.

Problem with 7800GT is the only noticible difference you see is in 3dmark ;)

Games are fine even with stock speeds :P

Maybe in future games.

The memory on the 7800GTs is not all that exciting.My 6800GS does 1300+ on the ram as do many others.
Even the 6800GT's ain't 2 great on the memory OC...I got a leadtek and it does a permanent OC of 20 MHz (1020) on stock cooling, pushed to 1050 once but the damn thing crashed.. The max it runs @ stable is 1035...since the card is now 6 months old I am running this b1tch @ 1 gig only....Core still does 375 easy..:ohyeah:
 
:huh: That is totally SAD!!!

My 6800GT does 410/1100 EASILY. Can push the memory to 1145 without artefacts very very easily.... I thought this was the minimum oc of any 6800GT. You have proved me wrong:P

Lucky you...anyways...Nikhil I plan to keep my sys for some years....cause I just buy new comps n don't sell the old ones (well 4 is the max comps i have so after number 6, then the 6800GT will go)....And i need that card to run till 2008 or so without failing so :bleh:

Also the 6800GT is @ Jabalpur now being overstressed :P with intensive applications like MS word, excel, solitaire, internet exp and winamp by my lil sister...:P
And my dad is using the X800XT :P

I am using the sh1tty old 5700 in Chennai :@
 
You think my comp should not last :P ??

Dude!!!! My next major(CPU/mobo/gfx) upgrade will be in 2009 or beyond..... All on my own money :D....

lol u speaking out of ur ***?

hey pal....do u read or just shoot off....the card isn't having any problem....it just doesn't allow a big memory OC...and its Leadtek btw not xfx....:bleh:

funny your comment seems stupid considering the fact that I mentioned about the card I was speaking off and its in my siggy as well....pays to read...:P

Nikhil, why OC the memory when it has little or no performance improvement and all it does is increase temperature? Yesterday, I pushed the memory up to 1100 but saw no improvement in F.E.A.R. (other than increase in temp) so reduced it back to stock speed. OCing the GPU on the other hand makes a lot of sense... when I get the NV Silencer going to push this thing to 450 :ohyeah:
