I'll reserve my opinion when we get a full review, with stated clocks and how the turbo actually works. For all we know, these things could be OC'ing themselves to 1100Mhz on the core or some random number depending on the game/load/tdp. While this would still be considered "stock", it could also mean that when properly OC'ed, it may not increase in performance as much as the 7970 does, since the 680 is already being "overclocked". Leaving not as much headroom when max oc'ed. We know for a fact that these things overclock themselves, we just don't know by how much on any given situation. It could be only 50Mhz, meaning this card is indeed a beast, or it could be 200Mhz on some of the games, possibly leaving only a little headroom for max OC'ing. If people don't understand this, they are blinded. I am by no means a loyalists, just look at my other rigs(I own more Nvidia than AMD). Just want a clearer picture of how things are working under the hood. Everyone should feel the same way and wait for the full details.
