Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/06 11:37 I picked one of these MSI GeForce 7900 GTO up and noticed that it has the 1.1ns ram, I ran it for a while at 1600MHz but got some glitches after a bit and had to wind back to 1500Mhz on the memory. Looking into it the RAM specifications it is rated for 2.0V with a variance of 0.1V but it is only being supplied with 1.8V. I was going to try the GeForce 7900 GTX voltage modification to up the voltage a bit, has anyone else done this?

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/06 11:49 How do you find the 1.8V on the 1.1ns Samsung memory? Cause I would like to know as well. And doesn't the GTX come with the same 1.8V on the memory chips?

Well that is done by measuring with a multimeter on these several point of the GeForce 7900 GTO card. The link below explains that.

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/06 12:29 Is it not easier to just alter the voltage with NiBiTor? There you can alter the BIOS of the card and adjust the voltage.

NiBiTor can only change core voltages not memory voltages. This is because memory voltage is not controlled in the BIOS.

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/06 15:36 Just out of curiosity, who has the EVGA e-GeForce 7900 GTO? Could you check your box for this error, on the top GTO and on the side GTX as indication?

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/07 19:29 There is at least one different resistor at the MSI GeForce 7900 GTO. This resistor is responsible for the 0.4V voltage drop. You can change this resistor from 1.2k to 1.8k to get 2.1V at the memory like a real GTX does. My own GTO works fine with only 1.8V and GTX BIOS. But I heard of people who are getting artifacts after playing some games like Battlefield 2 for some hours.

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/07 19:46 My card is flashed to the MSI GeForce 7900GTX BIOS now. It runs on 716MHz core 1662MHz memory, I have tested it for several hours on 3D stress testing, and played Battlefield 2 for hours and hours etc. without artefacts. There is a romour that the GTO BIOS runs the memory on tighter timings, something I heard from a local friend of mine. Is there any truth in that? That resistor, how do one change the value to 2.1V?

Someone from XS compared a GTO to a GTX and found out this small difference. I guess he spend hours to find that small resistor.

Re:Who saw or owns a GeForce 7900 GTO card...? - 2006/10/07 21:18 From a member on the EVGA forums. So, they are indeed all Samsung based GDDR3 based GTX cards with the memory at a lower voltage and subsequent lower memory clock. There are three speeds just like the GTX card (3D, throttle and 2D) and they use the 50MHz Delta as the GTX does. So, pure GTX with the RAM slowed down a tad. One other item. The memory timings. Looks like they have tightened things up versus the GTX.

Comparison Memory Timings...
timing-----------GTX---------GTO---------BJ11---------BC14
tRAS-------------24------------22------------25-------------22
tRC---------------34------------31------------35-------------31
tRFC-------------43------------39------------45-------------39
tRCDR-----------12------------10-----------12-------------10
tRCDW-----------8-------------6-------------8---------------6
tRP---------------10-------------9------------10--------------9
tRRD--------------8------------10------------8---------------8

So, looks like 1.1ns GDDR3 may be on there, but, since it only has the 1.4ns voltage specifications (1.7V min, 1.8V spec, 1.9V max) versus the 1.1ns voltage specifications (1.9V min, 2.0V spec, 2.1V max), the timings have been adjusted accordingly to 1.4ns just like the GT cards.
