We don't intend to make a habit out of overclocking loads of cards. Recently, though, we've offered overclocking articles alongside the standalone reviews that we normally offer. We have two reasons for doing this. The first is that we're seeing a lot of new models and a lot of new series’ from companies. The focus has also shifted heavily to overclocking on the models and people love to get more performance out of a product without having to spend any more.

The second is that we're seeing many companies offer software that allows us to increase the voltages on cards. This ability can really give the card a significant amount of breathing room when it comes to overclocking and we're ultimately seeing some of the biggest gains to date on the stock coolers.
