Overclocked 4850 issues

375 Views 8 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  thewebmaster179
OK so I just overclocked my HD4850. This one. I used ATI overdrive. It bumped my core clock to 790MHz, and my RAM to 1100MHz.

Anyway I go to play spiderman web of shadows and sudenly I'm getting "the display driver stopped working" errors. This driver just came out on 2/20/09.

Any suggestions as to what's up? Is it the overclock?

Most likely the overclock yeah... did you set the overclock yourself or did you use the auto function in CCC to do it?

Auto. I'm changing it back as we speak.

Do so, the auto function is no good... you're better of testing different settings you're self..

Try different settings manually.. don't have that card so don't know of any good overclocks for it, try search this site or google it and you might get an idea of some good OC's for it and you could try them out..


Had to try the auto overclocking tool in CCC myself on my card just to see how it went.. all it did were setting everything to the highest and that just screwed it up..

Try 700-1150 or 725-1075 and see how that goes..

And also, imo you're not gaining that much on OCing the GPU.. it's more for fun.. so you won't miss out on any big preformance boosts if you're not able to hit a stable OC on it..

Just got done playing a game of spiderman at 720/1100.

I didnt see anything difference, but it ran stable.
try using a different game... SMWOS is a terrible game as far as Ati boards are concerned, there may be an incompatibility with your hardware configuration and since its not a big name title, it is not given much attention
