    Hi,

    Well, he said it. "More performance" ...

    Basically, OC = Overclocking. It means that the graphics card is "OC" by default compared to the native frequencies provided by Nvidia on those cards... Nothing more.

    They will potentially be more powerful than non-"OC" cards, but also (and especially) more energy-consuming and with a thermal output that could be higher.

      When you say "more energy-consuming and with a thermal output that can be greater," won't this require better power supply and better ventilation?
