    Hey, memory artifacts are the one that look like someone removed a trianlge from your game when you are playing, right? If that is the case, I am kind of confused as to why I would get more of them when I lower my clocks. Any idea?? :confused:

    Core artifacts are when it looks like someone grabed a point on your screen and stretched the pixels out across the display. Memory artifacts are when theres spots everywhere.

    Lowering your GPU core can also produce artifacts. Any change in the GPU/MEM ratio, latencies or lowering and overclocking can produce errors in synchronization between different parts of GPU or GPU and MEM. Extreme underclocking can produce BSODs or freeze the same way as the overclocking does. Extreme CPU undervolting can produce instability, especially if you overclock too. There is more info in my sig.

    Cheers,
