test all the benchmark out of the box with the latest driver as of the date of this review . Heaven 1920X1080 Tess : nor Shd : Hi Ani :16 x aa :8 x get 58fp . 3dmark11 performance -lrb- free option -rrb- graphic score 9500 . no crash yet , run cool and very quite . a + + card overall con be the power come out the top and the card be heavy and sag some . Time to go play . 6.9 update : go through the overclock procedure i get optimal overclock at only 1177 GPU boost +200 MHz memory stable no artifacts\/temp rise , start crash the bench app above 1200 + , complete system failure at 1300 + . I guess i should feel lucky consider many do not hit stock but many people with reference card be able to do more than what i be get . if you have a good card already i would wait for TSMC to resolve the 28nm manufacturing issue and then you be guarantee a card fit for overclocking . Kind of silly to do so now other than to ensure you can clock higher than reference , might be worth a $ 20 premium .
