Maybe its just me but I havent seen much difference in stable 24/7 stuff OC wise between air/water on recent cards. My 480's do 850 air my 580 did 920 air ect. Sure with water its a quieter option and will pick up a few Mhz. but for daily stuff I haven't seen the point. This card looks good to me, very well built.

Nope
If the point was to fly your rocket as far as possible, you'd want the best fuel.
But if you could get to the moon on diesel and it saved you money, you'd use diesel.
The point of air overclocking is to get free performance while avoiding warranty/maintenance issues. Totally different purpose to LN2 overclocking.
But you probably just wanted to make a joke. It did sound good
Well there are several manufacturers now saying they will release GTX680 2Ghz, I was wondering if it meant that the GTX690 (2 x GTX680 950Mhz) is potentially obsolete ?
Eh? NVIDIA doesn't allow for more than within 2 % of 1,100 MHz, who's announcing 2 GHz cards? I think you're confused

I think it was because they wanted to build AMD cards too, but tbh I don't really remember.
