I have a Radeon 9700 pro card. I tried overclocking it using Powerstrip and I think I damaged it in the process. It still works, but when I play a graphics intensive game like Oblivion, some of the graphics, especially the text and panel on the bottom of the screen, are wavy and there is some flickering. I know I should have benchmarked it as I went, but I found online some settings someone was able to use with the same card and I set mine to that, and I got alot of artifacts. I put it at a lesser setting that also was on the web page and it seemed fine. The thing is, I left my pc on overnight and when I got up, there were alot of artifacts on the screen. I set my card to default and it seemed fine, but when I went to play Oblivion a few weeks later, I found the problems I already described. I can play and enjoy the game, but it stinks that I may have ruined a really good vid card. Has this happened to anyone and is it reversible?? I uninstalled Powerstrip and I am using the Catalyst Control Center. It is set at default. Thanks.
