i just got a 9500 np and i modded it to a 9700 and now im overclocking it. and im seeing some artifacts in some games. are artifacts caused my the memory or the core, or is it both?

Did you see artifacts before you overclocked it? Try lowering the memory speed a few mhz. If that doesn't help, lower the core too.

Some games stress the gpu more than others. Is it really worth the 1 or 2 extra frames (if that) to run ustable?

My card can do 328/580 w/o artifacts but I run it at 300/550 every day, all day. Of course I up them when I benchmark
