I should also mention that our sample didn’t even have a single Mhz of overclocking headroom. While this isn’t a game changer, it was shocking nonetheless and pretty much proves that overclocking potential can vary wildly from card to card. Luckily this didn’t translate into instability at stock speeds but it is a bit worrying nonetheless.

Hrmmmmm..........
I know you're busier than a 1 armed paper hanger these days SKYMTL, but did you have a chance to dig any deeper into this?
Seems strange that a manufacturer's binned clock would be that close to the edge without causing issues that require you to downclock the card to avoid artifacting.
Is there any chance that the card has been locked in some way?
