Help needed

Hi guys.

I'm using a HD5750 512mb with the latest drivers, as soon as I overclock the card, even by the smallest increment possible, i get visual artifacts on my left monitor, but not my right monitor. I have overclocked several cards and never had any problems like this.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit.

Thanks

this is a common problem.... playing games over split monitors does happen on overlocked GPUs... especially on AMD ones' (it normally is worse on the non-primary monitors)

 

[dugdiamond]

to reduce the artifacts - un-overclock the card OR use lower resolutions

This is probably the last AMD card i buy, nothing has worked properly, the drivers suck!

Gunna be a GTX560Ti Hawk next. Thanks for your help once again mate.

even when you see demonstrations over multi-screen (eyefinity) setups, the resolutions on all screens are NOT 1080p, but more likely 1024x768.

they wave a magic wand, called the wow-factor...... you see the all the screens and think "wow, that's cool" but forget about the resolutions. sometimes, at these demos, they won't even let you get to close the the monitor set-up.... it would spoil the illusion of grandeure

You won't gain more than half a frame overclocking that card - not worth it

I am aware that its not a great card, however it perfectly suits the pc its in, i just wanted to see how far it could go, which turned out to be not very far atall :L

Thanks for your advice though.

I had the same issue with my old HD4830 awhile ago, overclocking it made it artifact on one monitor but not the other, fixed it by taking off my overclock. Also at least my old HD5750 wasn't a very good overclocker especially the memory, 50mhz would cook the ram and it would throttle down
