How nvidia handles ocing

[Rage1881]

The fact that our MSI card was able to overclock more than the EVGA doesn't actually matter. Performance of the two cards at maximum overclock is exactly the same due to NVIDIA's method of handling clock speed controls. With a little less heat and a little more noise, this card stacks up pretty well against our reference, but the EVGA's factory OC gives it a slight advantage going into the final round.

I just read that, what exactly do they mean by NVIDIA's method of handling clock speed controls?? how does nvidia handle them?

Going form experience id just say it was cpu limited. I dont understand what Anand is trying to say there.

The performance of G70 doesn't scale linearly like NV40 - it increases in jumps. So for example, you won't see any performance difference between 450 and 469 Mhz but you'll see a jump at 470. It's due to their clocking mechanism where they apparently have different dividers for different clocks within the core. So performance seems to jump only every 15-20Mhz.

ahhh ok

If you'd read the graphs... :roll:
