439MHz core and 1170MHz memory represents a mediocre overclock from the card's 425/1100 stock speeds. That's the inherent problem in purchasing the fastest GPU from either NVIDIA or ATI. Technology and yields are already pushed to the limit, so we're not going to be seeing 50% air-cooled core overclocks in the near future for either GeForce 6800 Ultra or X850 XT PE.
