IF I O/C the Gigabyte....

Will that shorten the life of the card, If I O/C the card to 275/275?

maybe 5 or 10 minutes...

My opinion is that if Gigabyte didnt want you to Overclock the card, then they wouldnt ship it with Overclocking software.



Overclocking it to 275/275 is just bringing the card to normal 8500 retail speed anyway.....

With stock cooling, this card can probably get to 300/300 easily. Good buy buddy!
