    I think they over-overclock, since they sell cards above stock clock and run a BIOS overclocking that, AFAIU.

    Actually depending on how large the company is, it probably started like this :)

    Boss: "Hey our biggest competitors are getting nasty press about sending modified cards..... do we do that as well?"

    This was just wrong to manipulate the BIOS voltage and clocks.
