A 5850 is not the best investment, I would strongly suggest you purchase a reference 5870. I was testing my Asus 5870 last night and got a rock stable gaming overclock to 1000/1300 at just 1.299Volts. This thing is now equal to a GTX 480. The overclock is not Furmark stable, but is very stable for running games or 3dVantage. I had the card running at 40% fan speed and got a max temp of 86. Running it at 50% resulted in a max temp of 73C.
You could possibly hit at least 950/1300 with a reference 5870.
