Gainward gives the 'goes like hell' treatment to the 7800GTX 512MB
written by James - February 23, 2006 12:45

I'm sure many of you are aware of Gainward’s new “goes like hell” cards which can only be described as their “Golden Sample” brand on steroids.

It denotes a special version of a specific card that is not just heavily overclocked, but also changes the memory specification (the actual chips are swapped out for faster IC’s). This is then stamped on a custom designed red PCB. Gainward currently have a 6800GS GLH and a 7800GT GLH both based on these principles, and believe me, they are stupendously fast, easily the fastest in there respective categories by a mile.

This brings us neatly to a new card allegedly coming from Gainward soon, a 7800 GTX 512MB “Goes like hell”. This is not a suped up 256MB GTX, this is a suped up GTX 512MB, the card that is nowhere to be seen in the retail channel and is clocked at 550/1700MHz.

Gainward’s GLH version is rumoured to be clocked somewhere around 600-650 MHz on the core and a mind blowing 2.2 GHz on the memory. If this turns out to be more than a rumour it will most likely be faster than a 7900 GTX.
