Please elaborate so he understands what you mean with your response. He may need help to understand the concept fully
The card is designed to run within certain specifications, and on a refrence card it's not likely to deviate from that set of guidelines. Assuming the card has a dual bios, one with quiet mode and perhaps another with "uber" mode. Baisically uber mode would sacrifice silence and maintain clock speeds and power limits closer to its TDP or power consumption limits for longer periods of time, requiring quite a bit more cooling and higher sustained fan speeds, sacrificing silence for performance.
The card was not overclocked, it's just running at or near its limit all the time.
Pendant one was trying to discredit the benchmarks by making it seem as the the cards were running out of specification by offering no explanation for his comment or what "uber-mode" was if that's what it's called. This omission of information may create doubt in the minds of the uninformed that AMD wasn't playing fair or cheating somehow.
