The problem with OCers is you always post things like "I overvolted and OCd my less expensive card to perform better than the more expensive card!"
What you leave out is that you could do the same to the more expensive card and it would still be faster.
rollo, there's always a limit to the depth of the wallet for most of us. I overclock for savings as much as anything else. Volt modded 7800GT= 7800GTX+ performance for ~$300. I couldn't afford anything better and like to push every penny's worth out of what I can afford.
so the logic isn't faulty, you're just abandoning the fine line between cost/performance that most of us are up against.
...sure I can voltmod a 7800GtX...but I can't afford one in the first place, so your argument becomes moot...
