ATI 9800pro with Doom3, problems

Ok, so I have a 9800pro and I have had this card for a little while now. I have used the ATI Tool to overclock it. The new ATI tool, the one that basicly auto overclocks the card. It works great with every game I have ever played. However when playing doom 3 I get dots (Artifacts) all over the screen. Adjusting in game settings do not seem to help. Once I set the card back to the original clock settings it appears to work normal and the game runs perfect. Any opinions on this is welcome!!! :)

Why would this happen with doom 3 and no other game?
Is my card going bad?
Has this happened to anyone else?
 
It's OCin' it to much. Try runnin' it just under what the ATI tool sets it at and try that.
 
not to be redundant or anything, but john carmack told everyone that doom3 was gonna take advantage of video cards like never before, and run into problems w/ oc'd GPUs.

so you dont have much choice but to turn it down for D3 and deal w/ it :)

P.S. you can use the program called radlinker and use custom oc settings for each game you play.

This is a good idea, when I get a chance I think I will give this a try. To be honest it runs just fine without being overclocked, most likely I wont really even see a difference but It should be interesting just messing with it.
