Normal Problem or Is It my Overclock

[Tecnoman5000]

Hi, I have the Asus Direct CUII 7870 and I recently over clocked it. 

 

Now whenever I play a taxing game (i.e. Black Ops 2 Maxed Out) that runs my video card at 99% then game crashes, but if I limit the FPS it's fine. My video card is at:

GPU Clock (MHz) GPU Voltage (mV) Mem Clock (MHz) Power Target (%)

                   1190                      1263                    5500                      110

System Specs - Intel i5 3570k

                       - Maximus V Formula

                       - 4GB ram

                       - Asus 7870

                       - AX760i                                                                                                                                                                

 

I have done a burn in test and I have played games on it alot and it seems to be stable. Where if its running at 99% while playing Black Ops 2 (maxed out, 120 fps) it still seems to crash about 10 minutes into playing. during the burn in test it runs at 99% and runs perfect.

 

If anyone knows why the game would be crashing when its running my GPU at 99% load, but not when its less then that, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you.

You should lower your OC a little and try again.

Burn in tests are just only really stressing the heat load and not the computing load. Try running some heavy 3D Mark benchmark at the native res of your monitor. Thats some real world stress test.
