He didn't "get" 1450. It wasn't stable and also throttled.
^^Here you see that the card does throttle. The classified DOES temperature throttle, your info is wrong there, you can ask Andrew to verify, he has posted that it does before. Multiple people have confirmed that the classified does temperature throttle, even JacobF from EVGA can verify that.

1270 max OC, doesn't your reference clock higher than that?

First, i'm anxious to see more results for the classified. Unfortunately, your claim of being the biggest and baddest isn't quite true in this case, 680 classified max OC's per newegg and EVGA forums has been 1260, 1270, 1265, 1296, and 1333. The result you posted about 1450mhz isn't true, it wasn't stable and throttled - furthermore, the classified does temp throttle.
Now with your post history I know you love causing and stirring trouble, which is the only rationale I can think of for coming to the lightning owners club thread and talking about this. Especially when the results obtained from users contradict your statement - if anything the classified is getting worse overclocks than the lightning from what i've been reading.
Here's another result: 1312 max OC and this guy has EVbot apparently: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=1668607&mpage=2
Now most of these results are less than 1300, and this is the biggest and baddest card? Also, using EV bot causes ridiculous temps from what i've read, fatalzity posted that his temps went 80-90 with EV bot voltages. Again, the jury is still out. Perhaps you should read more thoroughly before coming to the lightning owners club to stir trouble.

but power throttled back a bit no matter how much voltage I pumped into the card, causing it to downclock a bit. Anything past 1.3v appears to throttle... which leaves me to ask EVGA reps: Is there a voltage cap on the Classy cards with EVBot?

Wow I'm so bummed reading through this thread! My classy I received today won't go past 1270 on stock voltage..
my vanillas do 1227 core! that's only a difference of 43 MHz!!!!!
my power supply is brand new and More than sufficient for this card. Do you guys think my motherboard is holding back since the classy 759 doesn't have an auxiliary power input? I also tried a lightning and couldn't get past 1280 or so on the ln2 bios.Or just bad luck!

Cons: Unfortunately the card I received would not overclock well at all, the max GPU boost I could achieve was 1255mhz. For a 660$ card I expected more than this, these cards are supposedly binned I thought but this one was a dud. The other annoyance is that voltage control requires a 100$ purchase from EVGA, that seems pretty ridiculous - that makes the total cost near 800$ for a single card.

finally I got 1312 and +500 mem stable everywhere... for more it need EVBot and Water!!!
temps at load ~60 +/-5
