I really don't understand why they impose this kind of artificial limitations in the first place. Why not set the slider limit to 2000% like MSI Lightning cards allow us to? Because they are afraid that people are going to burn their cards? Well, overclocking isn't covered by warranty either way...
the one thing that i wonder about overclocking new gps, are people limited by artifacts, or their artificial TDP limit set by cards
i havnt used one with either power tune or gpu boost, but it looks really tough to overclock to the point where games crash, unless your specific chip is a lower grade one.
is this the case, or are 90% of the overclockers out there on air/water really limited by the mhz and just cant fry a card by smashing it with volts?

My old single 6990 got more than 9500 GPU points on 3DM11 on default underclocked speeds (830/1250) . So i really doubt that 2 cards would just "barely" beat it.
My new HD 7950 gets 9500 around 1150mhz gpu and hits 10K with 1260mhz gpu.
GTX 680 is a little better scorer compared to HD7K on 3DM11.
Wow, 6GHz Ivy Bridge possible?

It's the live review of the GTX 680 that PC Perspective did with Tom Petersen from Nvidia. Probably a little "light" for the most people here but still great stuff!
