Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the extra free performance out of the card, but it's only supposed to boost to 1710Mhz as is shown in this image by GPU-Z:
However, I ran a Kombustor and looked at clock speed in Afterburner and it was setting at 1950Mhz as shown in this picture:
And as you can see, this is without ANY overclocking at all. Eventually the card settled down to around 1820Mhz after a few minutes running Kombustor, but that is still 110Mhz over was the card is supposed to do without being OC'D so my questions are:
1.) Why is this happening ?
2.) Will this effect the life of the card ?
3.) Is there any point in OC'ing futher since this seem to be the fastest the card can do anyway before it thermal throttles.
4.) While I am at it, why is the Memory clock speed showing up as 7000 Mhz, that obviously has to be incorrect. right?
