Spot on. I have no idea about washing machines and needed to buy a new one (so the wife told me). I went on lots of different review sites and looked for user reviews before making my purchase.

I'm sure those washing machine sites also give out the correct and full information so you can make an informed decision.
From that comment, I can clearly see your desperation and if you have nothing constructive to say, it may be best not to say anything.
Again you have lost your rag for no reason, i say again what i said right from the start, i am simply making the suggestion that your chart would be more informative if you stated your particular model is an overclocked card and faster than other ones out of the box.
You need to stop assuming the worst of people's intentions every-time the say something to you, that's not healthy.
I think assuming the worst is justified in some cases on this sub forum
Its never justified.
For example, you click on a 680 link:
and it takes you to a result:
^
If you can't work that one out, then you shouldn't be purchasing a top of the range gpu!
There is no chance, I would be underclocking my factory oc gpu to give out a 'fair' comparison, as by downclocking, it becomes unfair against 'my' gpu and it's not a true BM of 'my' said gpu's 'true' performance, you have then 'skewed' results.
You simply should not badger anyone who put in the time/effort/money on how to word their graphs, you can ask, but it's up to the op of said graphs.
If it means that much to you, go out and purchase the lot and do it yourself.
+1
User BM's are great and if anything more honest than profesional reviews, but there could be a slant in them.
I am NOT implying in the slightest any did, just pointing it out.

I never run mine at anything less than 1200 / 1500, so would it be fair for me not to down-clock my GPU?
But yours is overclocked yourself manually.
His is out the box that speed. You're asking him to downclock it below what it comes at out the box.

It wanent a dictation tommybhoy, it was a suggestion, don't you start making wild unfounded accusations along side these two.
Take it for what it is or not at all.
Not cool
If its not a review but a thread for showing off our own GPU's then that's fine.

What are you on about?
I was just replying to your point that you felt that downclocking your manually set overclock of 1200 is the same as Gregster downclocking his out the box overclock to a speed that is less than his plug and play speed.
Which when worded like that is quite funny a suggestion. You pulling me leg?
Yes, so whats your problem with what i have said there?
I have had my fair share of run ins with greg and rusty, I'm not taking sides.
I simply read through the thread subjectively and gave my view on the subject and how I perceived your comments on the matter.
I showed that by clicking a '680' BM link which then contains 'Lightning' is more than enough to indicate what gpu is being used.
If 'dictate' is too strong a word, then I apologise, but if you take a step back and read your comments as if someone else wrote them-if you can, then you might see what I'm reading.
There is no point in arguing on the matter, I'm not in it to fall out with anyone, I just stop responding to posts mate.

You're asking somebody with a Lightning to downclock to a speed less than the out the box speed right? Why not just take somebody elses stock clocks if that's what you're interested in.
If you can't see the stupidity of that statement then I don't intend to explain it further than what Tommybhoy/I already have.
You've probably chose to ignore the part where it has been pointed out as being a daft request which is typical "bunker" behaviour.

I don't know about everyone else, but it seems obvious to me.
He's suggesting that it's either labeled with the core speed it uses, or he does them at the stock speed of a 680.
I can understand there being some confusion, if I saw "680 stock" I'd think reference clock speed.
It seems like it's just been a stupid misunderstanding that's escalated.
I don't think anyone really thinks Greg's being dishonest, but rather the info as it's presented is ambiguous.
I don't even know what the reference clockspeed of a 680 is, never mind the Lightning's one prior to Greg mentioning that it's 1202Mhz.
No-one pointed it out as being a problem before.
As I said, I hope that the benchmark thread is a guide rather than the be all and end all and at the end of the day it's up to people themselves to research properly if they're buying.
If I was buying then out of the box speed would be one of the things I'd be looking at relative to the performance I'm seeing.
