a turbo feature is nice, but really only useful for people who leave things stock. and when nvidia partners try launching higher clocked chips, will their turbo go even higher, or end up leaving both at nearly the same speed. and because of the turbo, are they selling their stock chips for more (good thing), buy removing OC headroom (bad thing).
I really, really wish I could answer this in detail. You'll see.
