Check out the flashing banner on Leadtek's site: "Overclockable to 450 / 1250 MHz".

BFD! :( C'mon Leadtek, quit trying to mis-lead people into thinking that those timings are something special. :mad:

A quick search turned up three 7800 GTX cards that are already overclocked more than that when you buy them. There may be more.....

BFG: 460 / 1300

EVGA: 490 / 1300

XFX: 490 / 1300

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but there's also the BFG water cooled card with 490 / 1300 timing.
 
The ad is for the new bios which ups the default clocks to 450/1250. It gives those people that bought the first edition that aren't overclocking on their own, a free overclock. It isn't major by any means but it is something. In reality most people have taken their Leadtek 7800 GTX's to ,on average, 500/1360MHz keeping right in line with what BFG, XFX and EVGA are capable of when OC'd past their shipping overclocks. All stock cooling of course.

What's with you? I do! It appears to me to be intentionally misleading.

Like someone else posted above though.... Welcome to advertising.

Your mom seems to be misleading.
