Just to add what Alex wrote, it also depends on how much additional/better cooling you are willing
to add to your card. With no additional cooling except for stock heat sink/fan combo, 10-15% is
probably a reasonable limit to assume. But other factors including how well the inside of your case
cools itself also need to be considered. Rule of thumb is you can never have too much cooling
inside your case
