UT3 Locking up; can you tell me which part of my card I need to un-overclock?

[soccerballtux]

Anyone know which part of my card I should downclock? I'm running 1920x1200 with AA 2x on and I really don't want to have to give up that 2x AA as it looks a whole lot better than without any AA. Right now I'm at 700/1750/1900; not seeing any artifacts and temps aren't above 65(C).

On another note, this game, while fun, feels like UT2k4 Deathmatch on Instagib.

Also, the interface is a PITA. You can't browse to other servers while currently connected. You have to disconnect->set up search parameters and search, or disconnect->click the servers tab on the top, press escape to keep it from searching automatically for servers, and _then_ you can modify the dropdown menu (CTF/DM/etc).

Also, they got rid of Bombing Run and Assault and some other kind of gameplay that they had in 2k4.

They did not get rid of the grenade launcher; it's now a part of the rocket launcher (click twice while charging alt fire).

Other than that, the graphics are great and it's pretty fun.

First reset everything to stock speeds, if the game keeps locking up then you know it isn't your overclock, if it doesn't lock up then you know it's your overclock, it's all about isolating the problem.

Memory clocks would impact AA performance the most so maybe try pumping down the core or shaders.

Well, that's a toughy; see when I had it overclocked and was playing, some times it wouldn't freeze up for 4 hours. Other times like today after just an hour :/

No problems since I set back to stock; but that was only ~1h.

Well, OTOH it locked up yesterday in UT2k4 way faster than it did in UT3... Does this help in diagnosing which could be the problem, the GPU shaders or memory? I enjoy overclocking but generally I don't want to spend a ton of time on it-- I just want to find something that gives a nice speed increase and that doesn't take too much time-- hence I spent a total of maybe 2-3 hours working on my CPU; I threw up the vcore until it worked with 3.4Ghz (~72C load) and haven't even touched the RAM latencies as that doesn't give much performance improvement for the amount of time spent tweaking. But there's no Gcore I can just turn up and be done with .
