My goold old nVidia GeForce 6800LE went into thinking its memory speed can be 1.4GHz, it should be 800-900MHz lol.
I have absolutely no idea why it did this, and it doesn't accept any other setting (not even 800). I haven't seen anything weird yet but I wonder how harmful this is.. Maybe I'll have to reïnstall the drivers or something..

edit: alright I'm seeing some weird things now, 3D graphics are getting all weird, they distort as if you are looking through a heat haze.. omg..

edit again: wow pretty crazy.. I restarted and now it accepts normal values, "detect optimal settings" goes for a whopping 1,51GHz at the memory speed.. Pretty crazy and almost twice as much as it should be.. But atleast it accepts normal values again lol

Maybe it got rabies and went into a hyper crazy "I want to overclock" mindset

Looks like it

And the slider still goes way too high lol but luckily I got it back to 850 MHz lol so I wont fry my graphics card

Graphics artifacts = high temperature. It's a common sign when you overclock too much. ; )

Yup, when i read the topic i knew straight away you had overclocked it ... maybe you've been hanging around Spengo too long? .

I didn't overclock it, I installed a new driver, and then it screwed up and overclocked itself while saying it didn't. But now it's alright again..

Perhaps i should have said 'it had been overclocked' rather than 'you overclocked it'. But my spengo comment still stands, he wubs his overclocking. He'd overclock his own brain if he could .

Ah well, if you put it like that, it was obviously overclocked but I didn't tell it to..
I only overclock a few percentages, not to 193% ((1.51GHz / 800MHz)*100 = 193.28 )
I hope no permanent damage has been done.. So far I've not noticed anything though so thats a good sign.
