Yes I have. It's not really a hack - just alternative drivers.
My card works fine with the 'softmod' drivers in games etc and I get about 30-40% increase in speed. Unfortunately it does produce 'artefacts' with the softmod drivers on video capture - which is one of the main uses I use it for (PVR stuff etc) So I run it with the normal drivers. However if a game comes along that really needs the speed boost then I can change drivers to play it and change them back after. Bit of a pain but an option at least.
As I understand it there is no risk involved in trying the softmod drivers. The ocfaq site has run a poll re softmods of the 9800se and about 50% of respondents claim to be able to softmod without any artefacts at all. Its just down to luck really. You might have a card that softmods fine, you might not. Give it a go and lets us know how you get on
