Unravelling the MSI RX9800 PRO

As some of you may or may not know, I recently got one of these so called "MSI Radeon RX9800 PRO"

I've tried finding reviews for this card, but I found nothing but good references by word of mouth in forums. It's also more common in the European forums (German, Dutch etc..).

Closer examination of the card revealed it to be made by a company named Medion and they gave it the name 9800XXL. The name Medion was actually covered with some kind of white out on the card...which in itself was covered by a white sticker which came off after a few days of operation.

Picture of the card called the Medion 9800XXL

Observations:
It's a real R360 core lying underneath the heatsink which I found to be very easy to remove.
No other BIOS can be flashed into this card.
Memory is Hynix 2.8 and rated for 680 MHz.

Tip: I also recommend replacing the thermal compound used for the core and the memory with some AS.

My overclock is 398/357

I need some more info on this card.. Particularly some overclocking results from valid (more valid) sources than customer reviews on NewEgg. Maybe some of you euro guys can translate some info or others can dig up more info..

Review of this card in Czech (Not sure what language)
