As per the Link in the front page of Overclockers. Does this mean they will condone or already do condone overclocking there cards? If so, Then How can they NOT cover a card thats been damaged by Overclocking? Seeing this taking shape, Id not feel one ounce of guilt Returning a Busted up card due to overclocking.

I dont have any Broke cards, But if i did Id not feel guilty.

Its just a chance for them to get some publicity with their products shining (in 3dMark).

Its PR, not Policy.

if a product were die and i OCed but know that it didn't die because of the OC i wouldn't even think twice about RMAing it, but if i vmodded and burnt it or killed it trying get a 100% OC it would make a nice paper weight :)

Ofcourse Vmodding a card Is bad, I would think, Altering the card Physically would warrent No Thought or RMA. That goes without saying. But i contend, Useing a Modest overclock and Ending up with a dead card,And ATI MAybe not covering it would be two faced. Yet ATI is sponsoring an overclocking competition, I Was Just wondering about there policy concerning a Broken card due to overclocking Only.

I Was Just wondering out loud was all this was about LOL.
