LOL at that review really.Not pushing it at all.Using +63mV to and 1150MHZ on core.And 1650mhz with Samsung rams.I am not impressed at all.But we will see 8pack's review.

So they haven't even tried but are very happy with it.One of the easiest overclockers we've come across. Keeping the switch firmly on the standard mode, rather than LN2 mode, the card only required a gentle nudge to the voltages to bring the GPU up to 1150MHz. The Memory is where the card really shines though, up from 1250MHz at stock to 1650MHz. A massive overclock and one we are very happy with, maybe with a few software changes we may be able to squeeze more out but we are very happy with what we managed to achieve in such a short time with the card and should be a good indicator to what the average Joe can expect when experimenting at home.
What a bunch of idiots.With any graphics card the partner, in this case MSI, are heavily reliant upon the quality of the GPU supplied by the manufacturer, and only have control over side issues. So AMD are supplying the steak, MSI can do the salad and fries. Whilst the GPU within our review sample wasn't the most willing overclocker we've ever come across
He never pushes the cards

Horrible job with that review really.Most of us can stomp that OC with our ref cards.Lets do a Poll and force Kaap to buy 4 of those.
+63mv? Why not use the allocated amount of +200mv? Adding more core voltage makes the memory overclock further. I could do a better job at overclocking Hawaii than most of these reviewers. Fail.
Yep my crippled 290's do 1100 on stock volts. +63 will get me higher than 1150 on the core as well.
One thing I struggle to find is how well the gcards scale with frequency vs the actual gains in fps. If at 1300mhz core for example if this msi card could maintain that clock speed comfortably then what actual fps throughput is there between that and a considerably cheaper 290x/290 that manages say 1150 mhz.
