Considering that the 5850 can oc to 1100+ MHz core without a vGPU mod, I think it still might beat a SP unlocked 470.
Btw, does your evga 470 have soft vcore control enabled? I know asus models do, but afaik you can only adjust it via asus's overclocking utility, whick is kinda wonky with other card manufacturers.
So, I just realized that foothead is almost up to 6K posts in under a year. I think we should just inaugurate him as Resident Post Whore. hahaha. Has anyone come that close in that short of an amount of time? The only person I remember who was always posting (not helping though haha) was Triv. Nate.
