What insane speeds of the 3 OCS 9700 Pros, especaially the number 3.

Does anyone actually have one of these? Is this card actually stable?

I am planning on getting the 9700 Pro and now it's just deciding which one. The 415/730 of the Pro level 3 looks really good but I can't help being a bit leary of buying a card clocked so high and wondering how long it's going to last and how stable it's going to be.

I havent got that card, but I did buy the OCZ gf3, which was the fastest gf3 at the time ;) Just wanted to add, that my OCZ card has been a very solid card from day one, and more than likly the OCZ9700 still has room for more OC :eek:

FYI - OCSystems and OCZ are two completely different animals. ;)

Those OCS cards look really sweet, however the company/store doesn't have the best reputation, at least if what resellerratings.com says is accurate. Caveat empetor should you decide you really want that particular card.

My bad, thought it was OCZ as they went to ATI cards after the GF3 Titan3 :banghead:

I sure would like to hear from someone who actually has one. That clock speed just scares me a bit too much even though I guess one could 'underclock' it if worried.

One would think it would be a big seller but maybe not. I don't think that OCZ Geforce 3 was a big seller either, maybe for the same reason, a lot of people wouldn't want to take the chance on something modded and so far out of stock settings.

It does sound interesting and tempting though. Price is kinda steep too at $450 plus.

well who knows, but this might just as well kick R350 too... but I would still wait for R350 as it will more likely than not have more OC potential, it is a new card after all.

Funny thing with my GF3, its a great overclocker, 540/560 for 2years+ but what druga runda said reminded me of when the gf3Ti500 came out, and couldnt even OC much faster, if any, than my gf3 :p so yes it is possible that OCSystems 9700Pro could be as fast or faster than the R350 :)
