NVIDIA GTX 595 (picture+Details)

[InCredible]

Nvidia has a tendency towards delivering high OC'd as well as std clocked reference cards.

How often is that switch really going to be used and really how hard is it to simply OC any video card with one of the mainstream utilities or flashing. Dual bios is cool and neat but at the end of the day doesn't really do anything that can't already be done very easily from within the OS.

yea and those oc'd cards will be overpriced as well. they wont be the norm. just like any oc cards.
and i have a 6950 right now and i can tell you that the dual bios is AMAZING..between flashing to 6970 and trying to adjust voltages and having bad flashes etc, i flip the switch boot flip it again flash bios and its done..simple and easy...flashing a bios within a minute..love it..
as far as the easy oc, its not the point of being able to do it etc..its the fact that Amd's card can claim higher results because it can do it in stock fashion. Of course both will overclock from there to achieve even higher performance easily within windows.

Bottom line though review sites will be able to test the 590 at 6xxmhz/3400mem(if above is true) and the 6990 at 880/5000 since the cards are stock..surely they will have the 830 as well but the 880 will be there too. Also its a LOT easier to flip a switch for people who don't want to OC. They know it works or else amd wouldn't have put it there so some people feel safer and more confident in using it...of course all of us here can easily clock chips etc but XS isn't the only people that buy parts just saying.
