Do you leave it overclocked?

[UncleBastard]

Do those of you who overclock your video card leave it oc'ed all the time or only for benchmarking? Just curious.

I leave my Radeon Oc'ed all the time.

All the time.
All my benchmarks are done with the settings I routinely run my system at.
IMHO there is little point to overclocking higher for benchmarks then what you regularly run the system at unless your just out for bragging rights.

all the time. why would you only OC for benchmarks?? Thats just dumb (but I bet people do it all the time just to get higher scores) if you're gonna OC at all, do it all the time... get every ounce of performance that you can is my philosophy

In my opinion it is not really a valid overclock if you cannot run at that speed all the time!

I bet a lot of people overclock to heights that are just barely stable enough to run a single benchmark at, and then pass those results off as their regular benchmarks.
Bragging rights means quite a lot to some.

I run my LE OC'dat 184/184 all the time. I can bench it stable higher but I don't feel comfortable running it there 24/7. I've also benched it at 'heights that are just barely stable enough to run a single benchmark at' just to see what I could eek out of it. I don't 'brag' about my benches, I find few people do. Those that post their scores (and those that read such posts and reply) do so in a positive attitude that would be akin to a sporting event, not a bragging arena.

Occasionally though, someone with a negative demeanor interjects a humble opinion that is neither humble nor sporting
