NVIDIA's shady trick to boost the GeForce 9600GT

[Luka_Aveiro]

If this were a 'trick' then I don't see how it really benefits nvidia? All the same, it seems like 90% of the people posting here didn't actually read why it does this. I'm not going to bother retyping, or requoting, so many of you seem to just be ignoring the numerous other explanations so w/e.

I feel the exact same

My question is, now that we know why this happens, to those claiming this is a benefit, how so? It's not like you can't overclock the cards otherwise. You were never limited because of the crystals clock before. This makes no difference. If your card can reach 800mhz it doesn't matter how you achieve that clock, 800mhz is 800mhz (for videocards anyways). Am I wrong?

Sure there's a big difference between overclocking 25x27 than 27,5x27, I don't know it yet, but you could achieve higher frequencies this way, as internal multiplier remains the same (27, in destroyers case )
