Of course, increased voltages can help achieve higher clocks, but it's quite possibly to get some additional speed without increasing the voltages. I've seen 560s at 1GHz core and 1100MHz Memory clocks on standard voltage (reference clocks are 822Mhz/1ghz. respectively). That's not far off the percentage increase the top-binned 460s are achieving, short of serious voltage mods and water cooling. The 570s, though, do seem to be struggling - I'm yet to see a manufacturer add more than about 40MHz to the 742Mhz standard clock as yet, and haven't had a play with one myself so far to try. |

Of course you can get modest increases without increasing the voltage on a 570 and most GPU's. Most if not all 570's hitting 900 have to bump the voltage, bit of a chicken vs egg discussion. The 560 starts at the highest stock clock for any 500 card, but of course its kinda irrelevant has it has the lowest amount of Cuda cores. You cant directly compare a 570 OC with a 560 OC. What is relevant is they both have the 4 phase power design , so "if" you do bump the voltage substantially the 560 "may" have issues. Definitely a new consideration for anyone looking to buy a 560 and thrash it. |

I follow the rule of "If you can't afford to replace it, don't overclock it" GPU's are a higher risk than CPU's with overclocking. Some manufactures like EVGA and Zotac allow overclocking in there warranties as long as you dont bios or hardware mod. |
