My brother is in possession of my old BFG 7800GTX OC, which is a factory overclocked model. It is overclocked 30mhz on the core, and 100mhz on the memory.
I was round his house the other day, and he commented that when using the 'scan for artifacts' tool on ATI Tool, he gets errors. If he knocks the clocks back down to a standard 7800GTX, then he gets no errors whatsoever.
I put the clocks back up and ran 3dmark06 a couple of times, and saw no graphical glitches at all, and we tried a few games again with no problems.
So, do you think this is just an ATI Tool quirk or is the card technically faulty, and we should be availing ourselves of the lifetime BFG warranty?
Any thoughts would be welcome.
