Not too bad. The 9800GX2 is still incredibly strong in 3D01 but the HD4870x2 edges it out in every other test. Nice job with air cooling though

edit: could you not tighten up that memory a bit? If it's DDR3-1800C7 or C8 then I imagine it's got D9GTR/GTS in it and should be able to do 1800-2000 7-6-5-18-1T with decent subtimings and PL7 to PL8. Don't be afraid to give DDR3 some volts, 2.0v is just fine. That'll net you a few FPS, not much but always an improvement.

Thanks and yes, i will try different timings, i'm a little bit noob at DDR3 business (new for me)...
(tried 8-8-8-xx / 1900-2000 MHz 2.0V, but just up to 4.6-4.7GHz with 3D Marks)

Woohoo! Don't need to upgrade yet!
