Radeon and Overclocking

[RadioactiveCPU]

I use powerstrip to over clock and sometimes, on my Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO, i can usually, like today, clocked it at 200mhz, rther than it's retail setting of 183. In Midtown Madness 2 and other games, certain areas/textures/colors turn green. Is this a heat problem or what's actually happening? Also, do i need powerstrip running for the card to run in an overclocked state? thanks

Ditch Powerstrip. Use Raid-On

you think powerstrip was the problem with the green? or was it a heat problem? and what does "bump" mean?

Don't know what the green issue is. 200 on a retail card should be very easy to do. Powerstrip has some issues. Try Raid-On and see if it does the same thing. If 183 is ok, and 200 causes issues, you may have a card that isn't a good overclocker. Be sure you have at least decent case ventilation.
