What is up with that problem, even though the overclock is stable it dishes out thousands upon thousands of errors.

So, what is your overclock and how many thousand errors you get, does anybody have a GPU overclock that has 0 errors, is it even possible?
 
Zotac amp! edition, max temps during test 62c

on 701 clock it shows 0 errors.
on 741 shows 1000 rising steadily so far, first few minutes, the thing is, crysis is stable so its strange that occt shows errors.
 
And there I thought overclocking gpu's is easier than cpu.

Thanks for the insight, So I take it on stock voltage, max core and sharder overclock with 0 errors would mean that it doesn't degrade the chip or increasing clock and shader and memory on stock voltages still increase the degradation rate?
 
You haven't mentioned what card you have, but I'm guessing it's the gtx 470.

IF so when upping the voltage to obtain stability, you can take it upto 1.087 without any worry of killing the card, but of course as already mentioned, keep the heat as low as you can. 80c and lower preferably under stress.

I thought that overvolting will no matter what result in the hardware degrading faster?
