i was upping the clocks on my gfx card (8800gts 320mb) but in game was getting the blue screen did i go too high.

heres the clocks-

gpu core:612MHz

gfx ram:837MHz

shader clock:1458MHz
 
if your getting BSOD in game then yes its very likely that you have sey the clocks to high put the setting on default thenplay see if you get a BSOD if not then its clear that you have

you want to then increase the clocks up slowly by 20 or 10 and test it using a strong game for a good 15/30mins and check for any artifacts and keep an eye on temperature cos the nvidia cards once they reach 100'c the drivers automaticcaly stop working which causes bsods or a crashed system
 
Clocks are never to high untill u get artifacts and temps are to high, if u dont got any of those , dont need to worry ;)
 
i ask b/c i didnt get artifacts but the comp did crash (blue screen of death)i reset and re oc'ed the card just below the clocks mentioned above.
 
BSOD are

often signs of a instable system , and volts need to be added ( vcore/ NB/ FSBv/ vDIMM. are u 100% sure your RAM is oke( do a few loops of memtest86+)? If you system is o/ced i would put everything on stock first so u can outrule your system causing the BSOD and not your GFX.

For quick system check, download OCCT ( google) and do the 30min test.
 
the only thing thats oc'ed is the gfx card so thats really the only thing it could be but since i dropped the clocks back down i havent had a problem.

Yea I ques u had hit a wall, and its the limit of your card, either the cooling isnt sufficient or u need more volts( modding is required) to push it further.
 
Cheers man, I would wait a few weeks till Nvidia launch their next gen, and expect a "big" price drop on the 9800GTX

do u think the price will drop by that much and so fast as i see that the 88gtx is still pretty high considering the 98s launch was some months ago. any hoo i cant get them this minute anyway as i dont have the money, i have to wait til my birthday then i start my new build.
 
I don't think I have ever seen a blue screen as a result of a GPU overclock... I usually get freezing/artifacts.
