Questoin about overclockng 7800GTX

[kman79]

Is it the same as overclocking you CPU? I had it set at 495 and 1.3GHz earlier, although it ran fine, it had alot of artifacts. Can I lower it back to 1.2GHz? Cause 1.25GHz I'm still getting artifacts playing BF2. Is it safe to Overclock the Core and not the mem? Any help on this is greatly aprpeciated

Yes, why not? The only problem is with a lower core speed is that your memory wont oc as high and vise versa.

Yes you can.

Well, i tried 499 and 1.2Ghz. It took a big hit in performance, 3DMark05 scores dropped 100 and BF2 FPS dropped 5. Going back to 490 and 1.2. Thanks guys
