Default EVGA Precision - Crysis
Hey everyone. Just a quick question.

Heres the scenario. I'm playing Crysis on 1650x1050 right... full settings and all. Everything appears to be good, and I'm getting a great fps rate.

I exit crysis, go into Evga Precision... Up my core clock from stock 738Mhz to lets say 800Mhz....

I'm using the EVGA 9800GTX+ btw. When I go back into Crysis, there are like blue lines flashing all over the place.

If I reset the settings on the EVGA tool, it works fine.

What would be the cause of this? Is 800 too high.... or is there some sort of compatibility issue?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You're artifacting. Too high of an OC. Try bumping it up 5-10 mhz at a time.

Perhaps next time you'll read some information on how to properly overclock cause next time you may perhaps destroy your card.

Far to aggressive and Crysis will sniff out a poor OC everytime!!!
