All 8800GT's physicaly the same?

I noticed EVGA has like 4 versions.

Are they really all the same hardware just using different firmware to achieve higher clocks?

Just want to be sure before I order.

I want to wait till Q1 but my 7800 GT is just not cutting it.

Yes, they are all made by Foxconn and rebadged currently.

So theoretically I should be able to make my regular GT perform the same as the ssc?

Overclocking varies like with any other part, but that is a fairly typical overclock for an 8800GT 512 from what I know. 700/2000 shouldn't be rare if you have decent case cooling.

well Im going to put mine on water anyways. I'm just wondering if they have different firmware and what not? And if so is it just the clockspeeds that are different or voltages as well.

As far as I know, they are all 100% identical but for the BIOS clocks. All use Qimonda 1.0ns memory (2000mhz rated DDR speeds), and have the same physical layouts/components, coming from Foxconn, according to specs.
