    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!:lol: 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 :D
