Using the rig in my sig, I am playing at 1600x1200x32 @ High w/ 2Qx AA (looks like 4x AA) and it runs grrrreat!
EXCEPT, I started getting these black spots and lines in the flashlight light, and then it locked up my computer once last night. I assume that my overclocked like a bitch 6800 GT in my Shuttle case overheated... right now it's at 420/1100. I'm using the latest nVidia drivers (61.77) so that shouldn't be the case. Any ideas on what I should do? Do you think lowering the clock speed would do the trick? Or is it a memory problem?
If it is memory, do you think that ramsinks would possibly solve it?
I'm using a Vantec Tornado as my ICE exhaust fan in my Shuttle, and it keeps the ambient temps pretty low I think. Right now at idle, my temps are: GPU-60c / Ambient-37c.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the nVidia drivers overclock autodetect feature said my optimal clock was 421/1100, so that's what I have it set on.
Thanks for looking!
Notice the objects in the flashlight light.
No problems with this shot.
This is the same shot, only with problems.
