If you play the benchmark game then the card is good for at least 1033Mhz on the core but only for short benches.

What driver versions did you use in these tests?
I'd especially like to see a Catalyst 11.4 update as that seems to increase fps quite a bit.

Good review. Working on my pair of these cards now. 1000/1425 was stable at 1.225v. 1010mhz was stable at 1.245v. 1020 is proving to be difficult 1.26v just locked on me, trying 1.265v now. Might just take 1010 as my max for benches at 1000 for my 24/7.
After i get my core ill work on memory.
10.6k in 3dmark 11 at 1000/1425 for reference
