question about ati tool.

[palidon112]

yesterday i OC'ed my x700 pro, and im currently at a core clock of 508.5 mhz from 425.00 mhz and my memory clock is at 522.00 mhz from 432.00 mhz (not a big oc). all has gone well, half life 2 works like a charm on full settings now at a res of 1920X1200, while scanning for artifacts, well, i havnt gotten any.

and now to my question, it was at about a core clock of about 520 with a memory clock of about 535, and the fuzzy graphic on the side started to get all these yellow triangular chunks, i turned the clock down and they went away. so i turned it up a bit so i was getting the chunks and i went into hl2 and it worked fine, and i did a scan for artifacts (30 minutes, long enough?) and nothing came up. have i reached my max OC, or is it just something wrong with ati tool, or should i just not worry about it? it doesn't happen at my current clock speeds.

thanks, palidon.

the yellow triangular chunks are artifacts. And yes, you have probably reached the your max OC for now.

hmm, well why doesnt it find artifacts when i scan for artifacts?

It happens sometimes. You can most definately see artifacts in the screen during a test, but ATI Tool doesnt seem to see them. But, they are still artifacts.
