Am I doing something wrong with my oc?

[FearoftheNight]

I opened up CCC for my Radeon 6850 and moved the sliders to the max oc when I first got the card to 850/1200. I proceeded to game. Been at this for 2 months and I haven't seen any artifacts or weird behavior. Should I be worried if the OC is stable? Or am I all good? Thanks .

The CCC overclock sliders are pretty conservative and function at stock voltage.
If you've had it running flat out for 2 months with no problems you certainly are good to go....just enjoy!

Excellent. Thanks. That was easy. I posted because I read on AT's guide to 6850 that none of their cards could hit 1200 mem on stock voltage. So it's a bit surprising that it worked out...

I have done 1200 and use stock voltage, I just don't see a huge difference to keep it there.

I believe the memory has error correction, it wont artifact but will decrease your performance, if pushed too high.

With my 5750 I used to run the Far Cry 2 benchmark and increase the memory speed till the performance went down then backed off the memory overclock 25mhz.

I reached 1320 stable by disabling CCC overclocking and using MSI afterburner. I could not increase the voltage with a 5750.

hi. would you happen to know where i can look for more info about this error correction?

how much did performance go down?
