660 clock speeds?

[weehamish]

Ok my 660 is here 0 problems so far, the PCB did have some weird marks on it though? Maybe im fussy but id expect it to be perfect and clean? Its like glue/stains, couple fingerprints around the card too??

Anyways it says my boost clock is 1098 but the card goes all the way to 1149? Maybe the BIOS has been changed? And that could explain the fingerprints?

I havent touched anything so that is strange?

Seems much better then the 7850 so far, couple of FPS spikes but im sure thats due to my CPU?

Noticed massive improvements over the 285 while the 7850 offered none, so seems to be working, its just the clock speed is going above what it says?

Even in GPUZ its marked one then on sensors it shows higher?

Who else has a 660 would be nice if your getting the same thing.

If you had read a few of the threads here, you would see it is the Kepler boost and perfectly normal to go above what is stated. They state the minimum boost and anything over is a bonus.

As for the fingerprints, It seems every card you have has issues of some sort...Just enjoy the performance and play some games.

Put it in your machine and turn it on. Why are you bothered about fingerprints?

Can you see them in your machine? No? Does it perform well? Yes?

Excellent.

Get gaming, lad!

Seeing as it seems to be fashionable to dsr cards for ridiculously petty reasons and then brag about how many GPU's we've been through, its a very real possibility that this card has been handled by someone else and then returned as a DSR, and then re boxed. There is nothing wrong with the card though, enjoy your gaming

LOL! And right on all counts.

I hope you RMA's the 7850 as busted, because you should have been getting double the performance over the GTX 285, and thats without overclocking.
