DX9 vs DX10 stability

[Michaeljcox24]

is it true that an overclock on a card(s) can be stable for DX9 and unstable for DX11, or does the same voltage apply to both technologies?

Thanks.

There's some truth to it because the GPU load can be different depending on API. Higher and better details/effects takes more strain on the GPU.

Whilst I have no idea, I would say it would be the amount of use the GPU is being used. I.E. If you had a game that was DX9 and was pushing the GPU to 99% all the time and your OC wasn't that stable, you are more likely to see crashing than a DX10 game pushing the GPU to 65% of the time.

This would make sense IMO.

A more demanding game is more likely to show an unstable overclock.
