i looked at a 4 or 5 of the reviews before they went down, the 470 clocks from 600 stock to 720-740 and the 480 clocks from 700stock to 750-800. there is no voltage control and heat seams to be the problem so it looks like it needs liquid like a dual gpu card (as it draws more power than a dual gpu card that makes sense, right.) it also scaled linearly with bc2 with the reviews.

my conclusion is that we have the same thing as last time as the last gen with ati ocing more and being cheaper/cooler and more texture/AA power, and NV having a giant core that dosnt oc as well and sucks more power but has more geometry power.

the 5850 with voltage control seams to still be the best card to get, and i really like the heatsink on the 480.

also to any1 from review sites it looks like some people arnt forcing the correct dx modes, and have ati cards and the 4xx set to dx10 and not 10.1 and or not having dx11 forced correctly for bc2/dirt2
