because manufacterers do not test their products on Highly Overclocked cards and send them out for mass production, they find the best clock that is stable so they do not have to RMA a bunch of cards because they clocked it at 500/1.15 stock that are messing up. My chip can handle a higher clock than "blazin-asian's" card can, thats the luck of the draw
It's only people like us who OC their cards and sometimes chips cannot handle high clock speeds, it's pot luck the kind of chip you get.
I can run mine effectively (when the ambient temp is low) at the posted speeds in my system spec, but once the ambient temp gets higher I start artifacting and my card gets a little unstable..one I get it on water I can put at those speed all the time
There is no correct overclock that's why there are stable and unstable clock speeds...a 10MHz increase is considered overclocked but it still works, doesn't it? Jack it up an extra 40MHz and you have some problems, doesn't mean that it's not working, the card just can't handle it
