...and different CPU, different memory, different cooling. different mobo. Also notice the date - 2 months difference!

Gothrek: there are more than 1 2900 Pro cards sold in Russia ;-).

but isnt it strange the gpu clocks to the same exact frequencies?

In fact Rossi lives in Togliatti and Demiurg in Chelyabinsk. There is about 900 kilometers between these cities. In Russia more cheap and faster way is to buy and sell the card in own city instead of sending it from another city, bench and then send back to owner.

Not really, people share bios files or maybe just a coïncidence.

Even if they did pass around the same card, the celing of performance may vary because of differences ranging from "ambient temperature here is higher" to "my PSU produces worse voltage quality" to "I'm too chicken to water-cool"-- so it's still a test of the skill and configuration.

 

In fact, it might be interesting to pass the SAME part around between a handful of elite OCers and see the differences in their results.
