    If the temps are ok and there's no glitching then there's no problem

    Artifacts due to too high clocks on your overclocking. 625/1500/950 is delta free or 600/1550/950, else you will have to overvolt and flash your GPU´s to get higher overclocks. I know since I have been tinkering with this for a long time now. Having deltas in ATI tool meanwhile it could be artifact free in games is just plain bad. We are talking about a degrading GPU here that will eventually die. Sure it can die with delta free overclocks too, but you are at a higher risk with running with deltas.

    Essentially deltas is artifacts the plain eye can´t detect and that does not show up in games. However artifacts can be everything from flashing textures to polygons looking weird.

    You have to download nibitor and make a voltage change in nibitor. There was a guy who did that on this forum, though can´t remember his name.

    Even one artefact is bad.
    Lower the frequencies until you are 100% artefact free.
