    hey there
    I have the stock 6860 which i tried overclocking with just the nVidia control panel. I moved the settings up slowly until i hit about 850 for the core speed and then my screen flashed and an error message told me that the video driver "was not responding but recovered". The clock speeds were now at 850 (core) and 1100 and everything seemed to be functional. When I jumped into CoD4, i was getting very low frames though. I quit, returned the speeds to normal, went back in the game and the frames were still low. Only when I restarted my computer did the frames return to normal. Can someone tell me why it does this, and any suggestions to overclocking without problems?

    I have the same problem too. CoD4 would become extremely slow if I overclock the GPU. I guess you may just leave the GPU to stock speeds, it's plenty fast, enough to run CoD4 at least on max settings.
