ASUS GTX 285 Matrix Registers 1100/2452/2800 MHz, Tests Stable (http://www.overclockaholics.com/103279/ASUS_GTX_285_Matrix_Registers_1100_2452_2800_MHz_T ests_Stable.html)
During an overclocking competition help by ASUS and Dutch tech website Tweakers.net, a participant named Neil Breems managed to achieve some stellar results on the ASUS GeForce GTX 285 Matrix. Cooled using a liquid nitrogen evaporator, the graphics card (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) was able to reach 1100 MHz (core), 2452 MHz (shader) and 2800 MHz (memory), way up from the reference speeds of 648/1476/2484 MHz (core/shader/memory). The overclocked settings were set using a tweaked version of RivaTuner. Breems put the card to test using 3DMark06.

Since the rest of the bench was made of an Intel P55 based motherboard (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) running an unreleased 2.66 GHz Core i5 750, Tweakers.net couldn't publish the final score and CPU score, but went ahead with its GPU-related scores that included GT1: 58.863 fps, GT2 57.762 fps, HDR1 112.6 fps, and 73.84 fps for HDR2. The memory to drive the system Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2000, and the system powered by Corsair HX850W.

asus has a much better power circuitry and also voltage options that go way past a reference card

definitely believe it myself after playing with Asus Matrix 4870 for that 3d challenge a while back
