Thanks for correcting jas. Nvidia's recent naming scheme is so so confusing. They should have named it the non-ti version has 555 or something to avoid confusion
No, its not about selected chips but its like how hard you push. Guru 3d guys had tweaked the voltage and thus were able to push the card to insane speeds whereas overclock3d had pushed the card in default voltage level i.e 1.1v. For default voltage, 895mhz is pretty good actually.
See this.
560-ti twin frozr II is a good buy within 14k. But @ 14.5k, hawk is really something. Because of the twin frozr III cooler and highly factory overclocked, you will get gtx 570 like performance out of the box.
Although you can still overclock the card, it won't be needed. The load temps of this card is insanely low after such a hefty overclock. Its around 58c i guess.
If you cannot go for 6950 twin frozr II OR twin frozr III, hawk is a very good alternative because at full hd, it will perform equal with a overclocked 6950 as well.

+1, TFIII cooler is really something, hardly broke 67c with crysis 2, this with a gpu like 580 with default 60MHz OC.Thanks for correcting jas. Nvidia's recent naming scheme is so so confusing. They should have named it the non-ti version has 555 or something to avoid confusion

oh my bad. i didnt see voltage adjustment!
i choose 6950 1GB over TFII.
but now i am inclined towards HAWK. reason is i want a TFIII cooler
. and 6950 TFIII will be 16k(4k over my initial budget). so i am settling with HAWK which will cost me 14600 inc. shipping (2.6k over my initial budget).

buddy i was going to get a 6870 then but everyone told to save up for 6950 or 560 ti. so i needed a psu upgrade too. got a Corsair GS600.
6950 TFIII is better. but i am on budget, so 560 ti HAWK
nice alternate to 6950.
Now 2 more ques -
1. who handles msi warranty?
2. is overvolting covered under msi warranty?

Mines Acro international, both are authorized MSI distro, you'll get support from MSI india for cards bought from any of them.
Did anyone know, gigabyte switched service center to Accel Icim, its the Seagate guys, uber slow service center, damn it.
MSI warranty will be handled by MSI india, authorized rma center is probably Digilink, can anyone verify?buddy i was going to get a 6870 then but everyone told to save up for 6950 or 560 ti. so i needed a psu upgrade too. got a Corsair GS600.

And for MSI, warranty is given by rma center, not distro.
The HAWK is imported by acro, smc's parent company, I had contacted msi india, they assured smc is authorized.
Overvolting is not officially considered for warranty but you'll get warranty as long as there are no burn marks on pcb, on any surface, hawk will not die from overvolting, be assured, it has uber build quality(experience from my lightning)
If the TFIII cooler on HAWK is like the one on my lightning(and it is), you'd be running the coolest card in your block, go for it eyes closed.oh my bad. i didnt see voltage adjustment!
