Radeon 5970 Overclocking: The VRM Temperature Bottleneck

[vab206]

I would rather have a card that can maintain it's advertised speeds without having to throttle down. I have never heard of people praising a feature that cuts performance drastically. It's not going to be a "few fps", it's going to be almost cut in half if it throttles to low power 3D speeds.

advertised speeds??? the whole point of that article was the problem that arises when trying to overclock the card to 5870 speeds, there shouldnt be any problems at advertised speeds.
