Hmmm, did you run anything after detecting the optimal frequency?

If you overclocked too high, you may have damaged your card; however in the past with damaged cards, I've been unable to play anything on them so maybe that's not the case.

Also, how high did you overclock?

Did you change to voltage>>?? Probably not cuz if you did the card wouldnt even function. Most likley you core has been damaged du to xessive heating. I dont know much about older cards but i do know that they dont overclock as well and have heating issues. Its damaged and there is nothing you can do to fix it. I had a 9800pro, oc'ed it too high. I got greedy then it just went out on me, it still works on normal apps, but w/ games not a chance, and that was with an aftermarket Fatal1ty Gpu heatsink. I'm sorry to say this but your screwed :twisted:
-Good Luck-

That overclock shouldn't have caused any damage.

If you're pushing it too far you can get performance decreases like that. What are the temps?

temperature is normal.but the card is still working,i am getting low fps in nfsu2(15-16) and farcry.this means the card has damaged.i didn't mess with it's voltage.i cannot play any games with it.
