I have had pretty much the same success with my ATI cards. It is because of this that I no longer get lower models in hopes of reaching higher model speeds after an overclock. It just never seems to work out that way. Starting from my X1900XTX I am always only buying the very top end part and hoping for a minimal overclock, that way I am still on top an not having buyers remorse as $100 to me is worth knowing I have the fastest, and not regretting it a week later that the $100 I saved could have been made up with my next pay cheque, yet I am stuck with what I feel is an under performing part than what I could have had.
