Hey all,
Recently I bought an EVGA GTX980 (superclocked, acx cooler). I decided to tinker around a bit and use EVGA Precision X to overclock the GPU. I overclocked it about as much as anyone has in the guides and tutorial videos I could find online. Even with a moderate overclock, benchmark tests were locking up or crashing, so I rolled back the overclock to default and decided I would leave it alone at stock settings.
Since the overclock, I've noticed some very slight screen tearing / jitter in all of my games. It's really subtle, but it's there. Everything is stable otherwise, no crashes, FPS is normal.
My question is.. is it possible for an overclock to damage a GPU and cause a problem like this to occur even when rolled back to stock settings?
