I know we have a buss load of overclock results postings within the forums probably, but they are all scattered all over the place and tied in with other threads. I would like to have one thread very specific to the 4850's and your max stable overclock so that we can use it as a basis on what to expect on the cards.
Please post

max stable clocks and how determined
if its stock or volt moded (and hard mod or bios mod)
Me personally I have 2 Visiontek 4850's in crossfirex
so far my max stable seems to be 675/1000 with stock bios/voltage it has only been determined by playing games so far, I have had no issues or crashes with maxed out CoD4, Crysis, and other games.
Temps are great, high 50's low 60's idle with a 50% fan speed locked via edited CCP profile and in the 70's load.
Also wonder if anybody has tested what gives a larger benefit and can share, overclocking the core or the memory? In the past with my nvidia cards I always experienced a "push pull" relationship between the core and memory. If I maxed out the core to its highest stable point the memory would not overclock nearly as high as if I lowered the core down and raised the memory instead. So rather than finding the max for both, I had to find the best balance, in the case of my old 7800GTX I found that the memory held more importance than the core.
Soon here I may flash my bios to 1.2v and re-do the fan speeds and see what I can get. Waiting on others to report back on temps and stability before I make my move.

....expect 800 tonight
....Getting some soon thou. I used the Zalman sinks for the VRM's...and I have a 60CFM 12CM fan pointed directly at them, they stay at 77 at 1.21v
. My MM reads the voltage at 1.21v, set to 1.2 in bios.
