That comment was so far removed from the review itself that I draw pause and decided to just omit it for the time being. The other's I've not come across yet.
I don't see how. He makes a very good point that unless sites (or anyone who posts reviews) state what they are setting it to, it just becomes another way to skew bench results does it not?

Let me put it another way: I can see problems when people start overvolting their cards and even with it set to 20% max, run in to clock gating when playing a game. This will be especially interesting to see when the 6990 comes as the 300w PCIe limit is going to be obliterated with 900Mhz cores. Will 20% be enough? Will there be a higher limit then 20%? Is there any kind of work around?
