you are misrepresenting what i said.
Absolutely mention about under volting and over clocking, both are peas in the same pod....... but that is the gravy and a review should not be rating the card based primarily on the settings when fiddled with. Like i said, it is on AMD (or partners) to get their cards running properly without needed to be messed about with, becase after all anyone can lose the silicon lottery. you seem to have a bee in your bonnet about AMD vs nvidia so lets talk about a neutral piece of hardware.
the celeron 300. a great cpu and 1 I had myself. I bought it because it routinely overclocked to 450mhz, a 50% overclock. (I was lucky mine did too).
that said, the card was priced and marketed according to it running at 300mhz. of course sites reviewed it and talked about its overclocking potential... but at the same time it was STILL a celeron 300 and at the end of the day if intel had been foolish enough to price it at the same point as the AMD processors it traded blows with *when overclocked* I do not think the celeron 300a would have been even close to the hit it was.
overclocking / undervolting is the gravy but the point at which it should be mainly judged is out of the box at stock imo, because that is how most users will use them.
I *hope* my 1080ti can run close to 2ghz.... (I have not messed with it yet) but ultimately i can only be certain that it will run at what it says on the box. nothing else is set in stone
