I just got my Gainward golden sample ti-450 from newegg...so i say to myself cool!
It says on the box "Golden Sample 4.0ns"
So i figure ok no surprises and try overclocking it...Went up to 245/535 before starting to see artifacts...
Then i decide to get those stock ramsinks off to attach some tin coated copper sinks and BAM!! Underneath i see 3.8ns Etrontech chips!
No wonder Gainwards overclock so well!
Heck check your Gainward, it probably has 3.8 ns as well...Don't let the 4.0ns on the sticker outside the box fool you!
