I have my 6800GT oc'd to
Core clock: 420MHz
Memory clock: 1100MHz
which on paper is at or slightly above 6800Ultra specs.

based on reviews found here,

I tried to use higher game graphic settings (i.e. detail high as opposed to default of low; and 4xAA etc).
When i played the game though, the graphics were way off... kinda dark but high contrast-y and colors were not right. it wasn't stuttering or anything, it was just way off in terms of color (real shady in dark spots (like playing w/ sunglasses) and skin color was green-ish).
I tried different combinations of detail settings (medium; medium/high; high) and turned AA on and off and tried to correct gamma/brightness/ contrast
but anything above ALL LOW SETTINGS would result in weird graphics.

thoughts / suggestions?

I belive so - I'll double check tho


never ran into any problems thus far... and 420/1100 seems to be a common range in BFG 6800GT owners


rolled back to 84.21

some games are harder on the gpu than others... one OC may be ok in one game, and not ok in another.

ya i figured as much
 
I'd d/l nV's latest 93.71 whql and see if that does it, unless you have already tried it :rolleyes:
 
I got a xfx 6800gt clocked at 410/1075 and I had similar problems with Far Cry too when i first got it, like one and half years ago, but all I needed to do was patch it and it worked fine. So just make sure you got it patched and I would expect it to work fine.
