Artifacting in Crysis ONLY? Is this a problem?

[Atls]

Hello. I'm running a GTX 460 1GB by Gigabyte. I've overclocked the core to 850MHz, and I tried running stress tests, and they were all successful except Crysis, where I got artifacting of several coloured flashing dots.

New Vegas: No problems, ran great
Furmark Test: No problems, ran great
Mass Effect 2: No problems

But in Crysis I'm getting artifacting. I lowered the clocks down to 825MHz and the memory clock down to 1935MHz, and it's fine now. But why Crysis only?

because not every application stresses the card in the exact same way.

Thank you very much.

I typically use crysis as my ultimate stability test after I've done the quick and dirty furmark/kombuster for a minute or 2 at lower levels. if it's not stable in crysis then drop it down to around 840 and try it again.

Why crysis? because after several years it's still the best.

Very few GTX460 models can actually hit 850 on stock voltage: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3810/nvidias-geforce-gtx-460-part-2-the-vendor-cards/7

In other words, your core is clocked too high. Your memory can probably go higher than 1935.
