Automatic underclock / overclock on ATITool question

Keiki · Nov 5, 2005

Hey guys, I'm currently using atitool for underclock everytime I log into windows and exit a game, and also for overclock whenever I open a 3d app. I just wanna know if this will hurt my graphics card in any way since I'm constantly switching core and memory speeds. Btw, I have a AIW 9800 pro.
