eVGA e-GeForce 7300GT 256MB
Before we say anything about the eVGA e-GeForce 7300GT 256MB, let's show you it in pictures first.
Notice anything a bit odd? Yeah, us too. With only 4 memory devices, each a 512Mib Infineon/Qimonda HYB18T512161BF-37 part rated to just 270MHz or so, they fill just one 64-bit segment on the G73's memory crossbar. Clocked at 350/266, that 64-bit memory bus gives the GPU less than 4300MB/sec of local memory bandwidth. So 256MiB framebuffer in total, but on a bus half the width of competing 7300 GTs (but the same as a 7300 GS) and slower to boot (by nearly 100MHz).
The cooler is overly noisy -- especially when compared to the XFX version on the previous page! -- and without any thermal control, so it spins at a constant speed throughout use. The backplane sports DVI and VGA outputs, as well as S-Video, like the XFX, and the board form factor is pretty much identical too.
Note the sticker on the SLI connector on the board's edge, saying not to use it.
Presentation and Bundle
Full Throttle Graphics. 'k. There's nowhere on the box that we can see where the 64-bit memory bus is mentioned, and indeed the box itself shows the missing memory chips on the printed example.
eVGA gets busy with a bundle that's marginally better than that with the XFX, by virtue of a DVI-to-VGA connector.
