Gainward gives the 'goes like hell' treatment to the 7800GTX 512MB

I'm sure many of you are aware of Gainward’s new “goes like hell” cards which can only be described as their “Golden Sample” brand on steroids.

It denotes a special version of a specific card that is not just heavily overclocked, but also changes the memory specification (the actual chips are swapped out for faster IC’s). This is then stamped on a custom designed red PCB. Gainward currently have a 6800GS GLH and a 7800GT GLH both based on these principles, and believe me, they are stupendously fast, easily the fastest in there respective categories by a mile.

This brings us neatly to a new card allegedly coming from Gainward soon, a 7800 GTX 512MB “Goes like hell”. This is not a suped up 256MB GTX, this is a suped up GTX 512MB, the card that is nowhere to be seen in the retail channel and is clocked at 550/1700MHz.

Gainward’s GLH version is rumoured to be clocked somewhere around 600-650 MHz on the core and a mind blowing 2.2 GHz on the memory. If this turns out to be more than a rumour it will most likely be faster than a 7900 GTX.


650MHz core & 2.2 GHz ram :p

[hemmy]

nobody would buy that anyway

and 2.2 on the memory...that would have to have some really loose timings

650 core you cannot do 24/7 stable on air unless you have an amazing oc'er

Is there really any point releasing this now with the 7900gtx around the corner?

[Redeemed]

Have the specs of the 7900GTX been confirmed yet? I ask cause if the 7900GTX IS a 32 piper, then it'd easily mop the floor with this 512MB GTX.

Go's like hell.Should be named.Hard as hell to find after the 7800gtx 512mb.
This is intresting though.

Nvidia’s yet to be released GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB graphics board has planned retail price tag of $499, whereas the GeForce 7900 GT is projected to be available for $299. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the GeForce 7800 GTX 512 will be down to $399, according to sources with knowledge of the matter.


To put this in perspective, a GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB currently retails at $409.

hopefully the prices will stay that low because then it would be really worth it to do the step up program for evga. I could send in my gt for another gt for free. Or pay an extra $200 for a gtx.

The 7900GTX will still beat it .. its clocked @655Mhz remember ? ... thats 5mhz faster than the GLH! :p

You lucky amerikans ! That evga program doesn't work in europe & we pay around 100$ more than your for the cards, with luck !

Amerika ist wunderbar :D
