Decided to get what I can out of it before I replace it. Anyway I currently have: 580/1750/1360. I'm getting Deltas about a min into the ATITool artifact scan, is it memory clock I have to lower to get rid of them?

that core speed, thats EVGA KO? been having serious problems overclocking in vista personally
Overclocking in XP using the gainward tool to set clocks and ATiTool/WiC Benchmark to check for artifacting. I'm using a BFG OC2

Overclock the core and the memory seperately. Start with the core and keep upping the core in small increments at a time running ATI tool to check for artifacts after each increase , keep going untill you see artifacts then just back off to where its stable.
Then do the same with the memory, don't forget to keep an eye on your temps. Use Rivatuner to set up a fan profile if you havent alreadyt done so.
Due to you overclocking both togeather and now getting artifacts you don't know hich one is the cause whilst doing them seperately makes it a lot easier.

Aye I've set fan profile. I can get the core to 660 with no problem it's just the mem thats giving me problems.

So just back it off in small increments untill you get no artifacts.
To be safe i would then back it off just a little more, ie 10mz or so.

Happily got the core at 660 and the memory at 1800, played UT3 for an hour or so and no artifacts or hardlocks.

Nice! Whats your temps like now?
I would be tempted to have a bit of a play and squeeze a bit more out of the memory, try a bit more if it proves stable.

Was hovering around the 61~ mark in ATi Tool when I ran the artifact test for 8 hours, away tonight so I'll test temps tomorrow whilst playing UT3.
