Yes, I should also add that the cards never went near stock clocks so they were overclocked at all times. The thing is the stable core clocks would depend on the game and how long it was played for. It only ever throttled in graphically intensive games so for the most part throttling isn't a problem.

Most people would prefer actual gaming results to be representative of what to expect in normal rather than ideal (read urealistic) conditions. Thankfully most decent reviewers agree and will test actual prolonged gameplay rather than brief canned or synthetic benchmarks in an open system.
I would tend to believe most people still purchase their cards for actual gaming.
your idea of normal or unrealistic is not the same as mine, many people take the correct steps to keep their hardware cool
I actually game on my cards for hours at a time and they never throttle due to heat as I have my cooling set up to prevent that from happening
as I said, I don't care if someone else has heat management issues, when I look at purchasing a card I want to know what it is capable of when you remove backround heat as an issue (as it's one I never have)

The monitors I run are a couple of DGM's @ 2560x1440, although I do run BF3 with vsync enabled. When I get time i'll run it again with vsync off and monitor the max temps I reach.
Its a mint game tbh. Completed it twice already and am on my third playthrough.
Make sure you have SSAA on though, otherwise it won't put out much heat.
Everything maxed
If you really want to heat your cards try - Sniper Ghost Warrior 2.
That game heats my cards up more than any other

Ah i don't have that one. If you gift it to me on steam ill try it though.
I'm running really low clocks and voltage on everything atm to try and keep the heat down in the room.
Been reading through this thread and have to agree: there is a definite difference in presentation of graphics between the two manufacturers. AMD seems to be bolder and brighter, whereas nVidia works heavily on subtle differences and complex shades of colours.
With respect to the op, just buy nVidia and never look back or question your faith again(!)

Until you go high res or multiscreen and the limited memory bandwidth and 2GB memory quantity kill your FPS!!!!

Oh no, now you've done it.

Do the OPer a favour and be honest, the 770 is good for a single monitor..
The 780 and Titans are really the only nvidia cards with the right clout for high res/ multi screen use with modern highly demanding games..... bring forth the battle......
264bit memory bus and 2gb vram, what was nvidia thinking off...
Stingy mf's......
For £400 you can get 2x7950's that will slaughter a titan for half the money...Yeah

Careful.
If you sell the codes here you're looking at £10 for Bioshock and Crysis. Sell them on the auction site and you'll get more, sold a few there for £15 recently. Blood dragon is only worth about £2.50 though.

Where can we sell the codes we have 6?
You need to become a valued member here then you can access the members market to sell stuff. I believe you need 1000 posts or to have been here for 1 year or something. Someone else will know the exact requirements.
dmferrett you should be careful as the forum rules do not allow you to mention, suggest or even hint at competitor websites or prices.

They won't be mincing mine.
I can mince your titan score on Unigine valley.
EDIT
Having looked at the score, maybe not mince, but certainly beat.
Beat yes, mince no
+1.
I expect the difference is larger in games than the typical synthetic benchmarks. The titan scores in that are impressive.
