    If it advertises a certain clock speed and goes beyond, its an overclock.

    Which AMD card dont, they state Core Clock: Boost Clock: and they never go beyond that by themselves unlike NV Core Base Clock:
    - Core Boost Clock: which can go beyond advertises clock speeds by itself.

    Kind of amused about g.synch, no reason it cant be done on older monitors or with other gpu's.

    UBER MODE is NOT overclock in clocks, it pushing the TDP limits, stabilize Clock (against Boost) and raises High voltage

    So basically it's a more advanced "powertune +20" thing? And you have to raise the clocks manually, then?

    No, the card has just better maneuver space when it comes to clock speeds. You can always manually OC but this is not what is going on here.

    Where did I say this mode *is* overclocking? Nowhere.

    I really will be happy if they do that with older monitors. I didnt read much about this tech but my thinking is if i can change monitor's refresh rate from os then why shouldn't it work with old monitors.

    Changing refresh rates takes quite some time for some reason, I think this just does it SIGNIFICANTLY quicker.

    i thought the same after writing my message also it blinks for a moment too. so maybe what is special about the monitor is changing the refresh rate quicker.

    Something tells me that G-Sync will only work with 144hz screens... and thus why the companies that will collaborate will be Asus, Benq, Viewsonic and Philips... since those 4 have all 144hz screens. Mmmm.

    You will need specific hardware, hence why the Nvidia little addon card.. but in theory: Any Nvidia GPU with updated driver can communnicate with this card for set the timing. Now, if a similar hardware is provided by panel builder directly, any GPU with a driver could do it too.

    I suspect Asus, Benq and other are more after continue their actual specific "gamers " Nvidia based monitors lineup ( 3Dvision 2.0 - 120-144hz ) . so this will consist of a 24 and a 27" from each brand who include it...

    it is from reviewers guide, and the same scaling value like Radeons HD 7000, far better then last two GeForce generations.

    worst is more then 1.8. very good scaling if frame delay reduced to acceptable levels.

    No. Worst is -7%....it's just that AMD won't show that in their materials now will they?

    unless they show fake results it is ok for me to if they hide some results. at the end we will see all results from tech sites and you . but if i see a big difference in numbers amd gave and the numbers tech sites gave i will be very upset about amd.

    Dont tell me you are surpised to find games who have negative scaling or where the CFX or SLI is just not working ? I know many peoples who are still waiting about support on some games, whatever it is SLI or CFX. ( I even know some games where it will just never been possible for Nvidia and AMD to enable SLI or CFX, but thats another story ).

    The issue is that both AMD and NVIDIA have very, very poor support when moving outside the games that reviewers benchmark.
