6600gt Overclocking

Artic7 · 10 Mar 2006 at 09:22

Hi
I decided to overclock the 6600gt card and opted to increase the speed slightly from the default 500+900 settings,however when i play toca race driver 3 the screen is looking like a green chess board,with squares all over it.
I have then changed to the optimal settings and let the nvidia programme do that,it`s changed ito 528+962 i am strill having the same problems with the chessboard effect
I have now reset to default settings and the game runs fine.
Anybody please tell me why it was messing my graphics up with such a small overclock
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for all the replies
I tried on hl2 and it crashed,i`ve reset to defaults now and it seems to be running ok now.
I`m thinking of upgrading would it be worth upgrading to a 6800 from a 6600gt,i have about £200 to spend
Any advice would be a big help
Thanks
Steve

Update

Played toca 3 last night and noticed that the graphics are now starting to play up a bit,this seems to be happening when i`m driving on a 10 lap race.
My card is now back to default settings and still doing this,i hope i`ve not bust it!!!!
Thanks for your replies
