Er, what? It isn't cheating... What is the difference between LinkBoost over clocking your card or BFG, XFX, eVGA, MSI, etc...? I'd guess that most reviews of the 9600GT were running @ stock frequencies, anyway, and I doubt a whole lot of people overclock the PCI-E bus (since it doesn't really help with anything).
Besides, how can nvidia "secretly overclock" the card. They are the ones that define what "stock" is anyway![]()
Spot-on. Plus, if LinkBoost really is off by default, it means that YOU have to turn it on, thus you are, in fact, OCing your card. Nothing sneaky about that. Besides, even if it was defaulted to on, LinkBoost is a feature of an nVidia motherboard.
