Glad you're getting concerned about benching results. I'm flogging a dead horse, but they haven't been 'right' since the 6xxx series came out.
One to look at in todays review is the 8xAA here. I'd go out on a limb and say that the reference 580 can-not be faster than either an oc'd 580 or indeed this card. (I'll bow to anyone who can explain how the same tech running slower can produce a faster result however)
I've noticed it in something like the 6970 reviews onwards. The base cards in many graphs being faster than the 'technically' faster card. This, not only is "wrong", but shows that something is wrong with the system being used for testing.
I'll harp on about it again, but I *think* it's your Windows 7 setups. Of course I can be wrong, but that's where I'd be looking.
Good write-up tho.

(where's my tissues)

I'll run the Heaven Benchmark when I get home today at 1920 x 1080 and see what I get.

can someone tell me why is it in a OC situation the card has lower minimum FPS than the cards default OC and that's in some games only, is it to do with the OC of the video memory because I have heard that DDR 5 performance degrades when pushed to far.

Most likely a software related issue as in most games it outperforms the regular 580.

this isnt there first jump into triple fan coolers i had a 470 SOC and that had that exact cooler
but i think its minus the vapour chamber

Yep. They also have a 570 with the same cooler as this 580

sweet 580, just wish it have a black pcb, OR a backplate what was black, (maybe blue is ok for a blue/white or blue/black rig, but not for most others)
also folding the same WU with my matrix (at stock), i get the same ppd as you were getting with it OCed ? weird, and when i turned up the volts and the clock to what you have in your review i was getting around 20.7 - 21.1k ppd with it.... BUT it was hotter and much too loud.

I think it could have done with a black PCB or, backplate, but otherwise it appears to be stupidly good.
