Not really.

7950GX2 is almost essentially a 2x7900GT card, very similar clock speed, very similar overclocking, and very similar looking cooler (in terms of size anyway).

Heavily underclocked? What do you mean by that?

ChampionLLY · 8th Jun 2006, 12:14 AM

very simple..7950GX2 is suppose to be an SLI of 7900GTX rite?

the default core clock of a 7900GTX is 650Mhz, but the 7950GX2 is onli running @ 500Mhz..

so is the memory clock, from 7900GTX's 800Mhz to 7950GX2's 600Mhz..

Not really.

GX2 is not supposed to be GTX nor GT, even though it's a lot closer to GT. There's quite a lot of limitation to make GX2 as fast as 2 GTX SLI due to power consumption, heat, and space for cooling.
