There's lots of good overclocking skills being done here just to be hampered with crappy memory, I fear STEvils Sparkle will be another example .

If these cards were 128bit or had 700MHz ( 1400Mhz effective) GDDR3 memory then I think it would have been a lot better.

Sadly I have to agree. I have been so turned off from benching my 8400GS that my 3850's have been getting a ton of attention lately. Next contest should be the 3650 DDR3 if they drop in price. When they get down to $60 we should try again, those should be fun cards to bench. Maybe we'll get lucky and the HD4xxx series will have some cheap 128-bit cards?
