Mine comes overclocked too Though to be fair, the reason I bought it was the dual DVI output and the HDTV output...

that is a nice ass card!!!! bet it cost a pretty penny too. the reason i went with mine was the price factor, and this particular brand because it can be overclocked to GT speeds, and comes with decent cooling. if i had the money i would have got yours ed

£67 and you can get it to run like a GT I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. I tried to overclock my PC once to see what the fuss was all about, all it did was crash every 5 mins

pmsl

nvidia decided to keep the number of pipelines at 12, and depending on the vendor, just turning down the frequencies and using a lower quality GPU
