Has anyone been able to squeeze more juice out of their 4890? I've heard these are great for overclocking. What have 4890 owners been able to get their cards to? What's the procedure for getting a stable OC? Other than enabling fan control, I've never messed with the GPU or Memory Clock.
OK... I sent the Q9650 back. Now what I'm thinking is just overclocking my Q6600. I don't think going from a Q6600 at stock speeds to a Q9550 (Q9650 won't work in my mobo). I'm pretty sure I could squeeze more performance out of this Q6600. If I can, then it absolutley wouldn't make sense to...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
I'm having some problems with World of Warcraft. Every couple seconds or so I'll notice a short pause. I'm running the game maxed out at 1920x1200. I didn't notice this with my old 8800 GTX.
iTunes 8 doesn't seem to be performing as good as the previous version.
Also, the new Visualizer is really sweet but I'm getting intermittent pausing. Is anyone else getting this?
