I am a noob to overclocking vid cards I admit it (using rivatuner) and I am trying to overclock my 8800GTS (G92) BFG graphics card. But I came across a problem.....
Many overclocking guides say to use 3Dmark or ATI tools to check for artifacts (to know when you have pushed your GPU to the limit) but these programs do not work with windows vista and DX10 (to my knowledge)?
So what can a windows vista 32bit user like me use (that is free) to check for artifacts?.... Sure I could use games but that takes a lot of time and is not as reliable right?
So basically what I am asking for, is can a brother hook me up? With the good stuff?
(warning to the search trolls (which there are many of)- please don't tell me to search. I did that already, and after wasting lots of time, and getting very frustrated I didn't find any good answers--- strong possibility exists that I don't know how to do a proper search)
