Hi m8,

Exactly.
It looks like the 9800GTX doesn't "overclock itself" ( switch over to the PCIe BUS Frequency as reference clock ) with the PCI-Express BUS Frequency, like the 9600GT does ( raising the PCI-Express BUS Frequency with a 9600GT graphics card results in higher core clocks on the card since it's switching to and using the PCI-Express BUS Frequency as a reference clock ) [ the higher the PCI-Express BUS Speed the higher the graphics cards' GPU core clock frequency goes ].

Going from 100MHz to 110MHz and then to 120MHz should've affected the card's clocks enough to raise my scores ( about 2000pts in AquaMark 3 should've been gained ), but it didn't.
That's on a Striker II Extreme with BIOS v0601.
