    OC'ed GPU completely stable in 3d apps, and 2D apps, but....

    Video driver always crashes when I start from sleep mode. System either freezes or crashes to a white or tiled screen where I must hard reset. This only happens when I shoot from sleep mode. Any ideas why this is happening? Card: XFX 6950 Unlocked @ 960/1400 @ 1.25V

    is 3dmark 11 a more realistic stability tester?

    We all know torture testers like furmark/kombustor/occt gpu test are completely unrealistic and I've also read that in some instances gpus at stock settings will give errors with them. So in this case, what is a more 'real world' tester of stability (besides games ofc)? Is stability through a 30...

    Tring to boot from my usb stick in order to flash my card's bios. USB is fine and perfectly bootable as I've tried it on a laptop and it boots just fine. I've noticed when I plug the USB stick in the BIOS reads 'UFI: SMI USB stick'. I've changed that entry to priority 1 and no-go. Went into...

    OC'ing XFX 6950 1GB using afterburner, do I really need powertune 20%?

    Hey peeps, So I started tweaking my non-reference XFX 6950 1GB and to my luck I could implement voltage control through MSI AB which is surprising since its non-reference. Anyway, the card went to 930/1300 at stock voltage and is now sitting at 970/1300 at 1.188 vcore. I've been hearing about...

    Every game is crashing with me

    Hey folks... I have been having a weird syndrome with my PC lately. I first tried to OC it with ATI Tray Tools and then installed RivaTuner as well for a voltage increase on the core (using the two in conjunction). Suddenly all games started crashing on me (CoH, Oblivion, Riddick..). I removed...

    Wanting to OC my sapphire HD4870...

    Hey guys, I've gotten my HD4870 from its stock 750/900 MHz to 830/1000 MHz stock volts / cooling so far. I am using ATI Tray Tools. Any higher than 830 on the core and games start crashing, so I figured I might up the volt s a bit to make it more stable, so i push em up from 1.263 to 1.276 on...
