It's not really a collectors item as it's actually wide-spread being sold in retail stores. The Asus MARS was a collectors item ... the Lightning series is for the enthousiasts

what G means is that's OC potential is not worth it, if it only does it for very short time on extreme cooling ;)

OC potential is hardly ever worth it

Au contraire, plenty of products from the past were OC worthy on air, surpassing more expensive editions:)

... on high-end products.

I've yet to see any factory-overclocked high-end card that gives any real advantage. In low-end segment, of course there's an advantage in overclocking ... probably because low-end is just crippled high-end.

we're basically saying the same thing :D

Yes, I am agreeing :p

we should print this thread out and put it in a frame, this kind of thing doesn't occur very often :D
