The core on that x800 series has reached its limits for normal cooling, mine tops out at around 535mhz with artic cooling from a default of 520mhz, unless you go to extreme cooling like watercooling or some kinda compressor the x850 probably won't clock that much faster either.
To get any real difference out of it they woulda had to have the core at least 100mhz faster and on stock cooling i dont think it could acheive that.
Hence the r5xx around april or so biggrin:
