Gibbo explained the difference in the pre-order thread a few days ago, maybe a week.
The big difference here is the base clock speed - the speed that the card will always run as a minimum. It's significantly higher and that is what causes the issues. It might be possible that a lot of the cards can't actually maintain that speed under full load.
I still don't get it, they're advertising the base clock as 1784, what is difficult about holding that when as mentioned, most other cards will hold 2-2.1ghz
