EVGA launched a new super-clocked card, the E-GeForce 7950 GT KO 512 MB, that can be purchased for $380.
By default, it's equipped with a 560 Mhz GPU, 24 Pixel Pipelines, 400 Mhz RAMDAC, 512 MB 256 bit DDR3 at 1450 Mhz and 46.4 Memory Banwidth. The connection is done through a PCIe 16x slot, and the card has 2 DVI-I and HDTV. The SLI capable GT KO enables a resolution refresh of 240 Mhz (max refresh rate), 2048x1536 x 32 bit x85Hz (max analog) and 2560x1600 (max digital).
The new EVGA card requires a minimum of 400W power supply (minimum recommended power supply with +12Volt current rating of 20A Amps). Minimum 500W are required for SLI mode system (minimum recommended power supply with +12Volt current rating of 28A Amps). Also, you need an available 6 pin PCIe power connector (hard drive power dongle to PCIe 6 pin adapter included with card).
The good news - according to The Inquirer - is that, although nVidia didn't leave room to overclock this unit (the highest clock seen so far being one at 570 Mhz core speed), EVGA just released the first EVGA 7950 GT KO Super clocked and is shipping them at 600 Mhz (core) and 1450 Mhz (memory). Some samples are said to work even faster, at 630 Mhz. These cards should be available shortly.
Some key features of the GT KO are UltraShadow II technology, Integrated HDTV Encoder, Superscalar 24-pipe GPU Architecture, nVidia CineFX 4.0 Engine, nVidia Intellisample 4.0 Technology, 64-bit Texture Filtering and Blending, nView Multi-Display Technology, Digital Vibrance Control 3.0 Technology, DirectX 9 Shader Model 3 Support and OpenGL 2.0 Optimization and Support.
