When looking at factory OC'ed cards, some of them have different figures, for example: Core Clock: 786 MHz Shader Clock: 1572 MHz Memory Clock: 4200 MHz But some other cards might have 3900MHz memory clock, and a higher shader clock or core clock, so what's the best one to go for? Higher memory clock? Shader clock? Bit confused really! can anyone enlighten me?
Personally, I'd rather get a stock version and overclock it myself. most of the Factory overclocks are quite attainable. However usally the most effective is the core and the shader.
^ This. You're paying extra just for a factory OC that you can pull yourself on a stock card for cheaper.
take the extra money you would save from buying a stock card over a factory oc version, send the card and the saved money to me, and then i will oc it for you beyong the factory oc version...as long as it's not powercolor or pny
