"Overclocking the Radeon 9800 Pro provided probably the biggest surprise throughout the whole review process, because I was not expecting much after the meager results I achieved with the Sapphire 9700 Pro a few months back. From a default clock speed of 378/338 Mhz, I was able to overclock the card to 472/370 Mhz, higher than any other Radeon 9800 Pro "

Offcourse this is never garanteed and you might get a better cooling solution to reach this or higher. Do be carefull and don't take too large a step at a time. Atitool also has an option to check the max core mhz and max mem mhz.

What he said.

Vga silencer and ramsinks you should get 420/390's more with a volt mod. I have a kickin bios flash for that card if it has the samsung ram. LMK if you need it.

Obviously, but I have worked with many 9800pro's only a few have fallen short.
