    I haven't tried any other games with it. But I attained a Stable overclock on my 5870m (G73JH RBBX05) of 845/1050. (According to AMD Overdrive) Have up to date bios and vbios. For some reason I cannot play in BC2 at all with this.. or almost any other overclock at all. The game will start and will either freeze up mid in game. Or screen will go white and say I need to enter a disk while loading into a game (Does not do this at stock clocks) Can anyone help me out? I really would like to achieve a good OC on my card.. but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

    Yes I have seen this happen a lot. Some high clocks look perfectly stable in Metro 2033 but the moment you play something like Crysis warhead or Cysis 2, Crysis 1 you get lock ups immediately or later on for sure. Its a good way to test your clock's true stability.

    If you have these games, play them and start low and work your up in increments of 5Mhz on the Core. Aim for the Core clocks first before you chase memory clocks.
