It doesn't mean anything even slightly more than nerd e-peen.

Liquid Nitrogen FTW.

Very impressive results form kingpin as always.

Yea, LN2 plus those big ass cards hanging off the side of the 680 supplying additional power will do that.

epic modding

680 should still come out ahead on average, but not by a whole lot.

The other way around actually. At 1900MHz the GTX 680 scores P15327, at 1800MHz the HD 7970 scores P15035. With both at stock you're looking at GTX 680 = ~P9800, HD 7970 = ~P8100. Even with the modified bios GCN scales far better than Kepler.

They get em free by the tray load (and any other hardware they want) and get paid to do it. They dont need to bother with the hastle of explaining broken hardware. Plus many are death runs which kill the hardware.

Thier job is to pimp the clocks so you buy retail HW.
