Jer909 Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Hey guys, I've been reading the forum for awhile now but have never felt the need to post until today. I have recently overclocked my X850XT from its core clock speed of 520MHz to 574MHz and its memory clock speed from 540MHz to 594MHz, and then changed some settings, it idles around 38 degrees and under load it stays below 55 degrees. I was thrilled with the results, everything ran great: Counter-Strike:source Half-Life 2 F.E.A.R. FarCry Call of Duty 2 But when I tried to play Battlefield 2/Battlefield 2:special forces some wierd things started to happen to the picture. I reinstalled both games and patches but nothing changed. Is this happening because of the overclock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhein Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Not impossible that it's the overclock causing the problems. Try reducing it to stock speed and see if it goes away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer909 Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 yep, that seems to have done it. I lowered it back to stock and now it wotks fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer909 Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Does anyone know why, as a result of overclocking, this would happen? Has anything similar happened to anybody else when they overclocked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0nsl Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Its called artifacts; it happens because the card cannot handle the requested clocks or because of heat issues. -k0nsl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer909 Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks to all who responded. I have reduced the core clock speed to a respectable 560MHz and it finally seems to be fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcon_Vpro Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 If you really want to run your card faster, then try the new ATI Catalyst 6.2 drivers. If I remember right there was a fix for Battlefield2 included. But I could possibly be wrong. Just an idea if you do want to try higher clocks.
