[citation][nom]calmstateofmind[/nom]if they have a feature where you can increase performance by 15% and it still be stable, why not make that the standard and THEN have an over voltage feature for people with better cooling set ups?seems more like a made up selling point than an actual over clock...especially with not a lot of people being familiar with fermi technology and its capabilities.[/citation]

Agreed. If it was so simple to up the voltage and get 15% more then Im sure Nvidia would have already done it. This is nothing more then a selling feature that MSI and Asus are going to use to try and move more cards. I don't see a problem with it however simply because they are not STATING that you WILL GET Garunteed 15% more , they are simply implying you could get up to 15%. I would love to hear how some are going to fair after trying it with Fermi as this puppy is already runnign Very Hot and well after dishing out a large amount of $$$ i would not want my New Card to go or have issues where I have to RMA it. That goes with any card even ATI's. Im one of those who let others go first and wait to see what happens. :) Should be interesting though.
