Making mid-range hay whilst NVIDIA's not ready to play.

So you're pretty much paying £35 for Dirt2... not that great a deal is it really?

[MrRobin]

If all they're doing is tweaking the card then doesn't this suggest all 5770s are capable of such OC performances? There's no difference in the underlying boards...

[CK_1985]

Seems a bit cheeky to advertise them as being capable of 950MHz but only ship them at 875MHz... Presumably if you fry your card trying to OC it to 950MHz you won't be covered by warranty?

I totally understand them shipping it below what they think it's ultimately capable of but I'd have expected more like 900+MHz from an 'ultra-overclocked' model.

£150? no way

I've essentially got the same card minus the ready-overclock and it cost me £115

and it runs steady at 970MHz once the BIOS is unlocked

My reference HIS runs 960 core 1300 memory and the core would go higher if I could be bothered with using a non-catalyst control app.
