**overclocking geforce 4 ti madness - WHY IS IT SKIPPING!?!?!***

[Bendawg]

With all three geforce 4 ti cards I have owned (abit 4200 64mb, albatron ti4600 128mb, visiontek 4400 128mb) I have had the same problem...

When I overclock too much, then card never freezes, it just skips horribly....frame rates will be at like 100fps, then the whole scene will just freeze for about 3 seconds, then continue.

To give you an idea, I am running a VT ti4400 at 275/624. Any higher than those settings (combined, or just single core/memory), games start to studder. Though, it can run stable at 300/650, it skips.

Any ideas what this is due to?

probably from overheating, or just an error in the ram....just don't overclock that high, hehe

everything runs cool though....the card is actually very cool....touching it now.

Running hardware out of spec often has unexpected results. That's the nature of the game.

heat != capacitance issues, which is what you would run into with the ram
