I was running watch dogs the other day and started alt-tab and adjusting the core clock and memory clock upwards together just testing out highest frame rate and max playable settings. After a few adjustments via afterburner I alt-tab back and move for a few seconds and get a greenish brown screen with lines on the left side forcing a restart. I know I can go move each setting independently all the way up before moving the other to figure out which one caused it.
Wondering more about things like is using alt-tab and adjusting like this safe or should you overlock and then load the game run it to see what you get then close the game adjust settings up and re-open again? In most cases which is more likely to cause an issue adjusting the core clock or memory clock? Also afterburner seems to allow me to adjust by a very huge amount and is this normal? using r9 270x it defaults to 1070 core clock allowing max of 1395 and a 1400 memory clock maxing at 1820. I have the box unchecked which allows overclocking past the official limits. I never have any issues with the card causing any other restarts outside of two times when I was adjusting the settings upwards.
