Too bad no manufacturer that willing just to sell their card without any bundle ... it would cut down lots of cost and make gc much more worth of purchase for us as consumer .... hahahah

oc gpu easy cuz u have the tools for them
like ati tool and rthdibl etc etc

but high end cards oc are stupid
the best is if u want a simple gc for a simple pc but just wanna do mild gaming, get a low/mid end card oc'ed already
like Palit/XpertVision Sonic series
they are oc'ed by the engineers
but u can oc them further
e.g. 7300gt Sonic
stock - 500/1000mhz
after oc can reach - 680/1690mhz
link - http://reviews.sc3n3.com/review.php?review=2&page=14

i dunno how they got there on the stock fan but its actually the speed of 7600gt (except with 4 fewer pipes)
haha

I agree with ataris...

also the extra fps is hardly noticeable by our naked eyes... better spend the money on other computer parts like CPU, memory etc...

What he previously meant was purely OC'ed stock GC , not related with other components . There are no pre-OC cpu , as in this topic .
