Default Underestimated Graphics Card? - Gigabyte HD 4850 512MB

Gday,
I have a Gigabyte HD 4850 512mb with a Zalman Aftermarket fan. I look at the reviews for my card and people say "Wow! I overclocked to a whole 700mhz!!" and "Gee, Call Of Duty 4 at 40FPS" but when i play COD4 I get 70 FPS, Minimum. And I can overclock to 900mhz core, and 1188mhz memory clocks. I was able to get overclocks to this degree with my laptops old ATi Mobility Radeon X1400. Why do all these reviews say that these cards are so bad?
