This is probably something 99% of the people in this forum can answer but I still had a little trouble finding an answer on google.

With EVGA's warranty can you overclock the card (specifically a GTX 580) without voiding it?

Only reason I ask is because I just ran 3DMark11 and it seems there is a very large difference in performance (in the order of 20-30fps) when the GTX 580 is overclocked. The memory on my card is at stock settings - 300 Mhz core clock and 135 Mhz memory clock (according to the 3DMark11 results page) whereas they manage to get the core clock to ~900 Mhz and the memory clock to ~2500+ Mhz. Seems like such a large gap. Even if they are watercooling or something more extreme, its still probably plausible to shorten that gap a bit by tweaking the fan settings.

Thanks

Edit: You know I thought those memory speeds looked incredibly slow so I pulled up EVGA precision and read them from there. Core clock is 772Mhz and Memory clock is 2004Mhz. I guess 3DMark11 wasnt accurately reading it for whatever reason.

Edit2: I suppose if EVGA puts a little slider bar in their own application to change the clock speeds, it cant void the warranty right? haha
