We are talking stock voltage here. You can pump voltage into anything to help its clocking potential. I can add jet fuel to my snowblower and it will sure as heck increase its output...until it goes kaboom.

You are making the snowblower rev at 5000RPM instead of normal 4600RPM and expect the snowblower to return the same fuel consumption ??

You overclock the clock so you must at least should over-voltage the card a bit as its a high end version and not a entry or mid range.

5850 OCed with stock voltage is a good idea, but 5970 Oced on stock not so much IMO.
