What’s so great about the TOP line-up from ASUS is that they don’t get a card and just add an extra 10MHz to the core and 20MHz to the memory, the TOP line-up of cards are really well overclocked cards that stand out from the competition.

Today we’ll be checking out how the ASUS overclocked version goes against a stock clocked offering and see if it’s worth paying the premium that the TOP cards carry to get the larger out of the box clocks.
