My GTX 460 can overclock to 900 core and doesn't hang while I enjoy Starcraft II. Sorry but I didn't run any benchmark for furmark. One thing to note is that the card is super HOT at that speed (1.062V) sad.gif

You can go all the way to 850-900Mhz easily smile.gif 720Mhz is still not the end yet. Happy overclocking and btw, I use MSI Afterburner.

It's difficult to determine my graphic card OC stability because, when I'm using Furmark or Kombustor I see no artifact.

But when in-game, on a certain game I can see graphic glitch, but not all game got that. So how do I check whether it's my graphic card or the game itself.

Most of the games that I've encountered graphical glitch are the ones that is using DX11.

What's graphic glitch? Ghosting? If it passes Furmark you're good to go and that problem you're experiencing might be something else. If it's not stable, the whole screen would've hung or go blank.

It's hard to explain here, gonna need to record it. It happens randomly, not all the time.

Maybe it's too hot sometimes? Another reason is maybe your card isn't suited for your rig. Hence, you can sell your GTX 480 to me for RM500.

Turning Vsync on will certainly help in graphics tearing but that would also mean you will cap your frame rates. Basically I don't think it's even an instability problem. If the OC is not stable, I doubt you can still enjoy games with a bit of glitch here and there but instead, it would just give you a nice plain coloured screen or hang on the spot.

nice cooler for overclock? brows.gif
I wouldn't buy that smile.gif It's huge, bulky and impractical plus I doubt it gives you 5-10C lower than the Arctic Xtreme Plus. Until this is proven, I rather get a simple cooler rather than this exaggerated one.

@ben_panced, Did you try checking if Voltage Unlock is enabled in Afterburner?

It must be something to do with the drivers then smile.gif You should use Driver Sweeper to remove all before installing a new driver. Perhaps you can give that a shot.

Yes, normally I will use Driver Sweeper after uninstalling the drivers before I proceed to install the new driver smile.gif I've never had problems

My computer after overclocking

Do normal things fine but play games keep saying nvidia driver stopped responding and restored

This means your overclocking is likely to be unstable, either you overclock it too high, it's too hot or you just need to compensate with more Vgpu.

Yea BF3 will hog most of the vram but I deem BF3 is really unstable, the game has crashed occasionally for me but other games give no problems at all. For example, I have Metro2033 which is more gpu hunger and it has no problems.

I agree with you and only a BF3 player would understand smile.gif A non serious BF3 player that only plays 10 hours or less wouldn't know what we are talking about. I run on a AX 1200 PSU, tried with GTX 570 SLI, GTX 580 1.5 GB SLI, GTX 580 3 GB SLI but it still crashes randomly at 2560 x 1600. All other games works fine so let's not blame other components smile.gif

Please also tell me what software must I download to overclock it.
You can download MSI AfterBurner and read some guides on how to do it smile.gif
