There was talk of 1300+ cards stock from the manufacturers originally and I havent really seen anyone push the cards to their top on air yet other than minor software voltage bumps on stock or barely better than stock cooling resulting in 1200-1300 territory..

But honestly comparing theoreticals like its do-or-die is nothing more than fanboy banter..
