The best buy then I suppose would have to be based on the factors other than purely performance.
Bingo.

I bet they tested the hell out of these cards with lower voltage and lower memory clocks and finally found the stable spot where the samsung ram could handle it. Slap a GTO sticker on it and you've got a good product again.

Just received my evga 7900gto from newegg. What program can I use to overclock the card?

"A card has just arrived however that's dethroned all others, the Geforce 7900 GTO. Sold at a price beating all competition, it's currently the most enticing card..." It goes on to talk about it's performance, cooling, and sonore advantages.
Can't wait til my pair arrives and start OC'ing... and then step up to two G80's in a couple months. I just ordered an OCZ GameXtreme 700W, but am scared it won't be nearly enough for dual G80's.
btw, I really think a bios flash to GTX would be more trouble than it's worth. Can't you just mod the GTO bios to have 800ghz mem? I know the voltage wouldn't be gtx, but it would be a more permanent solution than using Riva/CoolB

Bah, just hooked them up and tested. Can only push the RAM to 1480 (less then my old GT!) and core to 690. 8300 in 3DMark06. Still, not disappoint in the $ I paid for em'. Also, I think I'm right at the cusp of a CPU bottleneck.
I can't believe how quiet they are though. I actually had to put a flashlight to the fans to check they were running.

How long do you run for artifacts? How do you check for artifacts? Is it by the errors?

Is 45C idle normal? What load temp should be normal? 60-70C?
