Okay, my video card is a somewhat crappy 9800 Pro. Stock Speeds and cooling, it would run Far Cry for 5 min in Steam level and goto VPU recover or I would need a hardreboot sometimes because VPU recover didnt kick in.
Sometimes, it would produce artifacts(even at post) and in windows.(which a restart fixed sometimes or i had to take out the card and stick it back in).
So the above i fixed by adding a VGA Silencer R3 + Vantec Iceberq Copper BGA sinks.
Now:
It does artifact after running far cry in steam after i ran it for a couple hours. (1024x786 High Settings)
And it does lock up if i try to overclock.
Any suggestions? I am currently deciding if i should RMA because it shouldn't overheat on stock cooling.
