Hey gang... I bought a Gainward Goldensample 6800gt, you know the one gainward gauruntees to run at 400/1.1 stable. Now I wanted to test this out to make sure it would indeed run at those clocks so I d/l coolbits and set the card to 400/1.1 and I head into cs:s. After about 5 mins of play my screen gets filled with white horizontal squiggly lines and my pc hardlocks. Somewhat dissapointed I decide to try other games out at those clocks and every other game I own including d3 run flawlessly for hours, even a 12hr loop of 3dmark doesn't lock up. So why would all other games run fine but hl2 and cs:s lock up? and if it is going to be locking up is this a sign that my card cannot properly hit ultra speeds like it was gaurunteed to and I should seek a replacement?.
