ok guys here is the question. I am kind of new to using benchmarks ans I think I am having a problem with 3d mark 03 and 05. I have been doing some overclocking and am getting strange video and low frame rates even at stock speeds. video is fuzzy and jumpy in some tests and not always on the same tests. I have tried everything I can think of. upping voltages relaxing timings but kept all at 1:1 and 1t. aquamark runs like a champ and is in the 84 k range for scores when oced to around 2500 with 10 x multi. do you think I have a power problem? it is the only thing i can think is left. I have been fighting with this for about a week and it is driving me nuts.
Any help would be awesome
Thanx

If your overclocking your CPU, 3dmark is not a good test to run to test how well you have overclocked or to test stability, because it is designed to try and isolate the graphics card and use as little of the CPU as possible.

Run Prime95 or SuperPi to test stability and benchmark.
