The €110 asking price puts it just below stock 7600 GS territory in terms of money. Which means while other vendors offer overclocked (~500MHz core) 7600 GS boards for a bit less money, they don't offer the memory clock that the Galaxy GeForce 7300 GT GDDR3 exploits so well.It therefore pretty much matches the value proposition that their 7600 GS is, and while it's still not available world-wide, if you spot one for sale in your territory and you've got the readies, you'll find something with a great cooler and great performance for the money. It absolutely stomps on a reference 7300 GT for €10 more, and it'll outrun almost all 7600 GS boards too.
A great little SKU from one of NVIDIA's more promising AIB partners, seek it out should it fit your budget. If all it takes is a keen price, good clocks and an inspired cooler change, you wonder why more don't push the boat out like Galaxy has done recently.
Highly recommended.
