I'm currently typing this on my phone so bare with me. My 670 FTW came out of the box at 1215 boost clock on the core, all I did was raise the tdp so it would run that all the time. My question is that do you guys think I should pursue trying to OC my card or just run it at what it boosts to now. I tried 1300 MHz on the core in bf3 and it crashed after 3 games. Then I tried 1250 MHz and it ran fine the rest of the night. So do you think I should try to see how much I can get out of my card or just run the default with raised tdp. And also I didn't mess with memory because idk how to check for artifacts or whatever memory does, I heard it can actually hurt fps not raise it. Any input or advice is welcome.
