Hmm, you do know that if the card is 100% stable at stock, but unstable with a 1Mhz overclock, that its still a 100% functional product within spec's right?
I've had a HIS 4870 since July and its been trouble free. The closest thing I had to a problem was the busted Powerplay on the first 4870s where the fan wouldn't spin about 10%. But ATI resolved that with a later revision of Catalyst by adding manual fan control.
ATI's windows drivers have been superior to Nvidia's for a few years now, but it takes a very long time to shake a stigma.
