ASUS EN8800GTX Aquatank - Overclocking

As you could read here, the 8800 series has a serious thing with displaying operating frequencies. You can set the frequency for both the GPU and memory in NVIDIA drivers, using 1MHz increments, but the actual frequency is somewhat different. The ?stock? speed of this card is 621 MHz, 9 less than what ASUS claims. When you try to overclock it, the next step is 648 MHz. Not all 8800GTX cards can operate at this speed using stock voltage, but the Aquatank can. The next step would be 675 MHz, and that is too much for any non modded card. The actual memory clock is also a little lower, 1026 instead of 1030 MHz. While this is not very troubling for the average user, we would still like it better for manufacturers to point this out.
