got this from slashdot...

""According to Yahoo Finance, noted Finnish over-clockers Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto have made world history by over-clocking a graphics processor to engine clock levels above 1 GHz. The record was set on the recently-announced Radeon® X1800 XT graphics processor from ATI Technologies Inc."

thats nice and all but its not practical, i cant use that in an everyday situation and i dont get why ppl are so obssessed with this kind of stuff, its really fun to read and all but doesnt really mean much, with the ultra end of cooling you can o/c a lot of things. but its a crazy setup, props for that

I agree, but you have to admit if a card came out that could push 12.5K in 3DMark05 24/7 that would be AMAZING :cheesygri
