When I first read this I thought it said 1100 core clock :O
This should be better for overclocking.
I noticed also that the voltage regulation is analogic and not digital, probably not volterra present and not software voltage mod possible.
Pretty sure it is lol
I have an Asus 4890 Tweak running 1Ghz Core and 1,150 (4600Mhz) Memory. V Core set @ 1.375. Ran Farcry2 and Crysis warhead for two hours each with no problems. Excellent card!
1Ghz so why is this faster? Thts DUMB!
