Doesn't look like it. Carmack noted that the game also stresses cards like no other, too, so I believe that underclocking is looking to be neccessary for a number of cards (not all of them)

And to be fair, it's the work of 30 seconds to do it, and the game still runs beautifully, smoothly, and flawlessly even with a slight underclock. Annoying, yes, but eh, if you aren't willing to spend 30 seconds to twiddle a setting for a game, go buy a console.
I WOULD, however, love to know how it made it past testing. Radeon 9800s are hardly uncommon in gaming rigs, nor is the problem subtle.
