Ok, first let me say, I have a bit of experiance overclocking other system components, but none with graphics cards....
And that I'm new here, so I am a bit lost on these forums, sorry if I do something wrong....
So, I have a 3DFuzion (spinoff of BFG) GeForce 7600GT. The core clock is 560MHz by default, the memory 700MHz. I recently got some softclocking utilities because I have an intel mobo, but I had no luck finding something I could use with it. I did however, find out that systool has a graphics card overclocking feature, became intrested, and started playing around a bit. I got it to 800Mhz memory and a 580MHz core, and started halo, and it looked ok, and then went wild... little white pixels everywhere.... also, the flashlight, which usualt is smooth looking, it flickerd every few frames so it had a fast blinking appearance. so I backed them down to stock, and tried it again today. I set the core to 620 this time, and the memory to 760MHz. This time, no white pixels, but still he flickering flashlight.
My questions are:
What are the white things?
is there a certain ratio I should be trying to follow for memory and core speeds??
without a volt mod, can I have hurt, or in the future, could I hurt my card, if I push it to far?
I have heard about artifacting, what is it? anything to do with the white pixels I was seeing?
Is there a better tool I should be using, or anything of that nature?
