Hey guys, I have a HD 7870 Ghz edition Exact model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025
So I messed around with some OC settings on my GPU, and managed a stable 1150/1350 on stock voltage, but I didn't really have a need to OC yet, so I dialed the clocks down to stock values.
Then today, I hopped into cryengine 3 SDK (horribly optimized, "game" I guess you could call it. It's more of a test bed for the cryengine 3 editor), and after about 5 minutes, I started artifacting and crashed. I pressed Ctrl + alt + delete and manged to close the game that way, but then when I went onto the internet, I started artifacting on my home page.. what? artifacting in 2d mode? Then I remembered when I read wolframs guide to overclocking he said to re-boot your pc after you start artifacting, so I did this. I haven't had any artifacts yet on the internet, but is it even safe to go into a 3d application anymore? Should I lower my clock speed from the factory default?
One thing I thought of when this happened was that I made too much of a leap when first OC'ing my memory clock. I was unigen heaven stable at 1400 Mhz, but I had seen some people with different GPU's reach 1500+ Mhz, so I figured that was probably a typical OC, so I leaped up to 1450, and crashed almost immediately. Is this the cause do you think?
Thanks for your help.
