Overclocking 7800GT, set 2D the same as 3D or not?

I plan on trying to overclock my XFX 7800GT but I noticed that the 2D and 3D core settings are different. The 2D core is 275MHz and the 3D core is 450MHz..

Now I read somewhere that if you overclock a card and dont set the 2D core the same as the 3D core you can get some strange stuttering and such..

Is this true or am I all good to just change the 3D settings and leave 2D as it is?

Ta.
 
Ok, cool.

I overclocked my 6800GT and all the clocks were the same on that by default. I didnt think it would make a difference but I just remembered reading something on here a while back where someone mentioned it caused stuttering probs..

I just overclocked the card by 20MHz on both the core and memory, so its running at 470/1090 at the moment with no probs.. I will leave it on that for a day and raise it by another 10 or 20MHz and test it for another day and carry on clocking in little stages like that...

Lets hope its a good clocker.

Cheers.
