felixbrenner is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
yes, this card is performing great.
at stock clocks i get around ~8900 with a t8300 cpu
(sager with 8800m gtx & t9300 cpu ~9100).
considering the slightly better cpu of the sager
and the optimized forceware drivers it seems these
cards are VERY similar in performance.

i can oc until 620/900 and get 9774 3dmarks then.
when i oc more, atitool shows artifacts in the test.
so i didn't bother running 3dmark with higher clocks.
i'll stay at a modest oc of 600/900 which offers me some
nice performance.
and for most games (i mostly play cod4 mp) the stock clock
is more than enough to max everything out.

the only game i can't max out completely is crysis. can play
the demo at high, 1440, no aa. maybe reduce shadow quality
to med when there's a lot going on.
