BF2/BF2142 Do not like Gfx Overclocks...

Well I have been playing games on the gfx clocks in my sig, such as COH, Supcom, Dirt and Oblivion. All fairly intensive games and have not had any graphical issues at all. However whenever I load either BF2142 or BF2 on the clocks below as soon as i click join game i get a string of artifact patterns evenly spaced across the screen, not speckling just a constant pattern and the video doesnt load but sound does...As soon as I drop down to stock clocks both games are fine. Now I know this isnt an issue with the overclocks and must be something to do with the engine but it baffles me as to why...(i know i shouldnt be since it is battlefield for gods sake lol). Can anyone shed any light on why this happens and if it has happened to them?
 
My pcie frequency has been set to 101 since I built this pc a couple of weeks ago. Anyway i tried the other frequencies and none of them helped so i guess ill have to drop down to stock clocks whenever i play BF, which is annoying but what can you do. :rolleyes:

BF2/2142 should still play good with the setting though, so why worry. It's a pain in the butt to declock, but hey ho. Depends how often you play bf2/2142 and the other games.
What I think you need is to be using ATi Tray Tools, so you can use profiles for games allowing varying overclocks :)

Is ati tools bound by the overdrive settings because overdrive only allows up to 900 on the mem

Edit: Seems ati tray tools doesnt allow core above 760 :(

Seems its ATi specific, doesnt really affect me otherwise because i still get 100fps but its quite annoying having to manually change my overclock to stock for one game. And before you say profiles ATT's limits are below my overclock so its quite pointless. Ah well.

ATT has built in o/c limits for saftey but you can change them.

right click the tray icon
tools & options >
general options
advanced tab
overclocking configuration

then either untick 'use overclocking limits' or change the percentages to what you need.


Marry me? lool j/k cheers I knew it must be there somewhere but i couldnt find it.

Edit: Everytime i try to change the clocks its changing the 2d clocks which reboots the system, is there an option to make it change the 3d clocks?

Looks like the 2900 isnt supported by ATT yet, and ATi tool doesnt change the 3d clock settings when i try for some reason.
