When using MSI afterburner in unofficial overclocking mode, it causes my computer to artifact even though all the settings, that include core, memory and voltage settings were left at stock. Does anyone have a solution for this? I really want to get a bit more juice from my 6950.

My PC specs; Processor: Intel i5 2500K @4.6GHz, Graphics card: Sapphire AMD R9 Nano 4GB DD Overclocked @1050MHz Core and 550 MHz Memory. Hard Drives: 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM, 2TB Western Digital Green Drive, Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V , Power Supply: OCZ ZS series 750W 80+ Bronze certified, Case: NZXT S340, Memory: Corsair Vengance series Ram, Dual Channel kit @ 1866 Mhz, 10-11-10-30 Timings, 4x4 GB DIMMs. Cooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 240V

i say dont play around with it that much you wont get that much more from 6950 anyway.

He is the hero this forum deserves but not the one it needs right now.So we'll hunt him because he can take it because he is not our hero he is a silent guardian

it depends on when you bought it and how you used it but it probably will and upgrading to 7970 will be good for you cause that gpu is a little old ;)
