richba5tard Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you were holding an overclocking contest, which videocards would you consider? They have to be (in order of importance): - cheap. <50$ is a big plus, >100$ is way too pricey - overclockable. no point in holding a oc contest with videocards that won't oc - not total crap. we don't want sth pretty to look at while running the benchmarks, and they should offer at least satisfy the casual, undemanding gamer My thoughs: - 7100GS: dirt cheap (+- 35$), overclocks well - 7300GT DDR3: mediocre price (+- 70$), overclocks insane, can actually be used for gaming - 8500GT: a bit too pricey (+- 85$), overclocks well, dx10 capable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 7300GT would be a good one to play with, DD3 makes a big difference. We had a contest over @ OCF last year with a 7600GS, the DDR2 was a big drag. We had cores on DI and alot of voltage and we're going nowhere fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Do you think only 128mb DDR3 should stop you from choosing the 7300GT? 7300GT's with 256mb ram are far more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If you have a card that will overclock well, both on the core & memory I don't think you can really go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
