Ive not had a nvidia card for many years so Im very new at overclocking with them. I have recieved a Dell 7800 256mb GTX today even though I went and bought an X1900XT while waiting for very long delivery :D

I am putting it thorugh its paces anyway before i flog it and I am using ATi tool 0.25 Beta13,so far I have got it up to 500 core and 675 mem. I keep scanning for artifacts but never get any, ive also just run 3dmark03 and aquamark3 to look for artifacts and havent seen any. I know on 3dmark03 mothernature used to show artifacts up before most other tests with my ATI's.
Im a bit worried im doing something wrong and dont want carry on too far as those overclocks are quite high and when i go into the clock frequency settings in the driver and run the tests it says it has failed.

Does anyone take notice of the driver tests or so they carry on until they see problems for themselves ?

Cheers

**EDIT** nm, seems i was right at it limit, i went a little bit higher then it artifacted.
