The only time I benchmark is when I get new hardware. I run my 9800 Pro at stock speeds because I can't tell the difference in games. My processor runs at 12x198 or 12.5x198 for benchmarking, and 13x180 for stability every day.
I think that ATIs "hate" overclocking is a bit strong, T-bird.

when I had my 8500le I overclocked it to 275/275 and it artifacted...I put it down to stock speeds and no more artifacts...my brother now has that card and it's been fine for him...haven't touched my 9500 pro thoguh
