Its been over a year since ive been on these forums (halogod2007), but im back and just picked this up from microcenter for a steal. The 6870m overclocked for me to 900/1200, couldnt believe how well it overclocked. Ran 3dmark06 and got this, dont know why it shows up as a 6850 though in 3dmark (11.8 cats)

AMD Radeon HD 6850M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2630QM Processor,Alienware M17xR3 score: 17410 3DMarks

i will be upgrading to the 6990m soon when it goes down a little.

6870m
2630qm

I remember you, welcome back. Why happened to your old account? If you weren't banned, why not use it? They can change your name if you want too. Congrats on the new M17, nice OC also. Those 5870/6870 are still great cards.
