unless you have a golden 660, or a 660 with two 6-pin PCI-E plugs, you card will be starved for power past a certain point. my reference 660 boosts to 1077Mhz default under load, and 1150Mhz (+70ish) was the highest I could go at 110% power limit before it would throttle. touching the memory clocks would only throttle the gpu frequency down more.
I never bothered with bios modding it though, so theoretically someone could push a reference 660 further than 110%.
