Same, I'd to see how the 480 and the 580 compare when the core and memory clocks match.
At this time the limiter is only engaged when the driver detects Furmark / OCCT, it is not enabled during normal gaming. NVIDIA also explained that this is just a work in progress with more changes to come.
This is very interesting. AMD did a similar thing, but I can't remember if they did it in hardware, or in drivers? On the 58xx cards I mean. I find driver throttling a little spooky TBH, what happens if there is a driver bug, or suppose a game or application triggers the throttling? Down goes your performance. It might be a non issue I don't know, but interesting just the same.
