Comment:

I recently overclocked my evga 7800GT core speed from 445 to 553(MHz I think?) And have noticed zero raise in core temp. (53C) My question is, where can I find a safe limit to raise the overclock speed to? Is it published somewhere? I can't find it and could use some pointers.

As far as you can push until you see artifacts and lock up during game play...

Basically, if a character suddenly explodes into hundreds of pointy shards of misrendered geometry, then you've got a form of artifacts. Other signs include wonky lighting effects, very corrupted textures, and even lockups.

So can safely overclock to say...600Mhz if the temp stays down and I don't get freezes and artifacts?
