I have an EVGA 7600 GT. According to Wikipedia, my Memory clock should be 1400MHz. However, I just have 700MHz. Could Wikipedia be wrong, or did I get an underclocked card?

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

EDIT: I was being stupid and misread the post, didn't see he was talking about his memory clock.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Wikipedia probably has the net speed of your ram calculating for the fact that is DDR so 700MHz x 2 is right.

Wikipedia is not a great source for accuracy, even more so for hardware. Dont believe all you read on the internets.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

The same could be said for anything on the internet.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Echo.

Well it wasnt wrong in this case.

Are you guys serious? He's talking about his memory clock. It, by all means, should be 1400 Mhz. (A CORE clock like that would be amazing, though)
An overclocked Ultra runs at 2000Mhz. I don't know where you got your 700Mhz figure but your memory should probably be running at 1400.

Ive seen a core clock at 800mhz.

When I go into the nVidia control panel to overclock and such, 700MHz is the default for the memory.

It might be the brand too. XFX 7600 GT's are generally clocked at 1400MHz.

Halo2Vista and Doomedpanic... just STOP. You obviously know nothing about computers/video cards.
We're talking about the MEMORY speed, not the core clock. Memory speeds are much greater than Core clocks. Either do the research, and read the thread, or shut up.r

Fine. I know. But based on Newegg, most GeForce 760GTs memory clock are from 800-1400Mhz.

no 7600 GT has an effective clock of 3.2 Ghz. Since you seem to be incapable of recognizing the difference as to why in some places it's as high as 1600(effective) and 700(actual) ill do it for you. There is no range of 800-1400, in face it's like saying currency ranges from 1-500 neglecting the fact that in some cases it's talking about US money and some cases about Canadian money, with Canadian money being twice as much(it's a joke).

DDR = Double Data Rate.

The memory operates at 700MHz but the way it processes information it basically operates at 1400MHZ. Same goes for 8800 Ultras. No way it works at 2GHz :|

8800gtx ultra by evga works a 2250mhz thats also what you pay 3 double the price of a 7600gt

and statix got it right in this case
