if your worried about the warranty then dont overclock.. but they cant really tell if youve overclocked it or not

Haha well in that case.

Ok I was mucking around heaps, I tried that auto tune thing and it set it at:

840mhz & 1170mhz

However when I ran 3dmark06 to stress test it it would crash and come up with this:

IDirect3DVertexBuffer9::LockFailed:n/a(unknown)

So Im assuming thats an unstable OC (correct me if its something else causing this)

I might try Ati tools.

 

[Stildawn]

Ati tools wont work properly cause it tries to install an unsigned driver

 

[Stildawn]

Looks like im gonna settle on 820/1110. lol

Man this is annoying.

The above setting crashed 3dmark when I was stressing it (for about fours hours, I came home from work and it was dead)

So I tried lower on both 810/1090 - Same thing and now the Ati tool artifact tester is showing artifacts at that level when it wasnt before.

So I tried lower 810/1060 - Same again with artifact as well grrrr.

Ive put it down to 800/1000 - And I havnt yet tried 3dmark but the artifact thing still shows a few....

Has something gone cronically wrong?? Ive never seen the temps above 57c and considering when I plugged it in it was idling at 73c I dont see that as a problem?


?????

Try 780HMz GPU Clock and 1090MHz on Memory Clock. I have no trouble with this.
