meh, 280MHz (32%) overclock from a stock (factory clocked) card on LN2? That's not that impressive when you consider a CPU generally gets what - something like 100% overclock on LN2?

Yeah, but still. It's the highest gpu clock on the planet. Or is it?

Xbitlabs took their review sample (I think a slightly overclocked board, 900MHz) to 1GHz core and from 975 to 1.2GHz memory without any voltage changes.
1130MHz on LN2 seems a bit weak when you can get 1GHz on air.

The reviewer said he just had 2-3 Litres of ln2 leftover, so the temp was of "only" -40 C.

CPUs generally OC better than GPUs though.

QFT. Especially when there are such a broad range of chips. You don't see the top end models going from 3.33GHz --> 6.67GHz.

Is a feat for a GPU to reach those levels, they're much more complex and bigger than a typical CPU, usually CPU's overclock better because they're simpler and most of it's die is only for cache.
