The only thing i saw (after a quick look) was the core clock was a little slower, along with some having slightly better menory speeds than the other GT's Maybe get a bit more out of it with a little o/cing

Yup, its been there for a while Its a bit slower, generic and probably not quite as good, but 90% there.

its not that low is it? it's an ocuk board so this is a bog standard 7800gt, and £234 is only £25 cheaper than the gigabyte rival.

Still, same as a 6800 so that is kind of low...

But its got 20 pipes where as the 6800GT or Ultra has 16...

 

[PotGuy]

exactly.

i havnt noticed it untill last night! i was like :-O but im sure you can overclock it a bit and get it running at beter speeds...

and i suppose its better to have a 700 than a 6800 just for being more future proof .
