eVGA 7900GT Advice
I have decided to buy the eVGA 7900GT card after advice on this group
told me that my Shuttle SD31P PC should be able to handle it, even though it has a 350w power output, and eVGA recommends a minimum of 400w for this card. I noticed that there are 3 different variations of this model, each one with a slightly better clock speed: eVGA PCI-E 7900GT eVGA PCI-E 7900GT CO eVGA PCI-E 7900GT CO Superclocked Would I be best going for the latter model, or will heat be an issue with this faster card? |

Heat not really much issue. It's more about cost for performance. Been running one in my new SN21G5 Shuttle PC for about three weeks now without issue, even after a couple uber gaming sessions of BF2. |

eVGA 7900GT Advice
May want to read this review. Yes the review is about the GTX, not the GT,
but it looks like eVGA may be pushing their clock too high with the "Superclocked" series. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1950826,00.asp -- Scotter Tyan Thunder K8WE Dual Opteron 252s (2.6ghz) 4 gig Corsair XMS DDR400 RAM XFX 7800 GTX 256 w/VGAsilencerV3 500 gig Hitachi SATA 300 160 gig Seagate SATA 150 Dual Dell 24" wide aspect LCDs 550W Antec power supply X-Fi Platinum Soundblaster - wrote in message oups.com...

OF COURSE IT CAN ****ING HANDLE IT. HAVE YOU NOT GRASPED THIS YET? They use the 350W on SLI Shuttle rigs. -- Conor, Same ****, different day. |

eVGA 7900GT Advice
OK but what is the difference between the cards? Why would anyone buy
the lesser spec version when there is practically no difference in price? |

eVGA 7900GT Advice
wrote in message oups.com... There is not much of a price difference between the 3 models on ebay - I can pick up the superclocked version for $335 USD. But is the heat significantly different between these 3 models? Should this be of concern using the graphics card in a small Shuttle PC? No. |

wrote in message ups.com... OK but what is the difference between the cards? Why would anyone buy the lesser spec version when there is practically no difference in price? Clock speed is different, that is it. Yes there is increased heat, but no issues so far in my Shuttle SN21G5. I have the 7900 GT CO Superclock. You can buy the regular CO if you're concerned about heat. Retail prices are different. If someone is able to get cheaper and sell cheaper, then that is a good thing. |
