Memory clock on XFX 7600GT??

[FusionMJM]

Hey guys,

Just built a new rig. I have a question. nTune and some other diagnostics are only showing the memory clock on my xFx 7600GT XXX at 800MHz. It is supposed to be at 1.6GHz. Am I missing something here??

It's double pumped, sends signals on the beginning and trailing edge of the clock. So while it's physically running at 800MHz, it's equivalent to 1600MHz in operation. This is the principle behind all DDR memory.

400MHz PC3200 memory for instance actually runs at 200MHz

Got it! Thanks a lot!
