Im running a 9800NP clocked at 380/315 core and mem. Its pretty well stable, although after 1+ hour or so of gaming in max payne 2 or tron 2.0 it will start artifacing. This I can live with as I dont usually play more than an hour at a time. I downloaded the UT2004 demo though and it is causing it to start artifacing frequently. Sometiems in like 5 minutes sometimes not for 45. This game definenlty eats up more of my system than the 2 games I already mentioned do thats for sure. I dropped the mem down to 312 and still got the same thing. Im worried that my card may be damaged from running it too hard for these months. Usually when it would start artifacing i would just quit for awhile anyway, im not one to binge play a game for 4 hours straight. Usually 30 minutes or so, so its not been an issue.
Is it possible my card could be damaged, or more likely that my overclock is a little too much or I need better cooling? I wont have the opportunity to test it until tommorow but its worrying me now.
This has me worried and I would like some of your opinions as I dont think an RMA is possible with my situation.
