    Hey forum users!

    Whenever I overclock, I get MAJOR artifacts. I can't find a good OC level that doesn't make fragments and artifacts for me. If I OC to the 330M clocks and I play Fallout: NV, I get black triangular stretched black lines. Also goes for Black Ops, FPS drops down to 2FPS and can't go over that. Any help :confused:

    Looks like those clocks are unstable. How did you test for stability?

    First of all I suggest you remove those clocks in your signature since they are complete bull****. I feel like an idiot by responding with that signature right in front of me...
    Many people have stated that lowering the shaders helps with stability, but most importantly your GPU probably can't handle an OC. Not all GPU's can achieve the same OC's.
    I don't see black ops really benefiting from anything other than a large GPU OC since it is mainly CPU intensive.

    Upload a screenshot of those clocks at least, please.
