it seems like fun for him, is buying new video cards and seeing how far he can overclock them.

btw, your sig say you have 2 4850s and now you're preordering a 4870? Unless money is no object to you, you're being terribly inefficient with your "upgrade" choices.

THis upgrade is not for me but a less experienced friend and started from:-

Today when i saw the 4870 review i saw that GTX 260 did not fair good at all vs 4870 at the price so before he find's out that my advice was flawed... I want to find out if in any case i can maybe overclock GTX 260 and thus get better frames than a 4870!!!

EDIT:- I upgraded to 2*4850 only after my 3870x2 died and i had to sell my 2900 Pro to buy these 2!!!

We've actually had extremely good results from overclocking the 260's.

GPU MHz: 767 that's from stock 600mhz, and we're not even done yet.
The only cool we have is extra fans blowing in and pulling air out.
