So I had my system repaired by Dell, and everything went fine and it was quick and easy, but the GPU is kind of a dud. If I overclock it to 750/1080 I get artifacts in games, so any help? They upgraded my BIOS to A05 and I downgraded to A03 and it didnt work, and Im going to try A08. Trying whatever will help. If anyone has tips or if you know Dell will replace my GPU/Motherboard again thatd be awesome cause this would seriously suck without the ability to overclock (losing a whole 10-15fps!).

bigtonyman Desktop Powa!!!
don't think dell will replace the card because it runs fine stock. If you get a really nice rep though they might do it idk.

Yeah sucks, seems like my last system could have done anything, wish I wouldve pushed it more. I can only go up to 750/1500/1050 without artifacts and stuttering
-
I had also problems to go over or be 100% stable 750/1050 on A03 unlocked. I switched to A03 unlocked overvolted and it is stable. And I can go much higher if I want.
My card gets 2c warmer at load compared to stock A03 unlocked. -
Is overvolting THAT dangerous, worth it, and can it be reverted or something somehow? Ive got 3 years of accidental warranty/360$ at stake.

0.92 V is VERY small overvolt compared to stock. And 2c is worth the stability.
Oh, and flashing to any other (stock) bios 'sets voltage' back to default. -
Lets say my GPU was a derp and fried as soon as I overvolted, could they tell?
-
No LOL, because if you burn the GPU (will not happen, but pssssst) then:
- (you get to Win7) you can flash back to default Bios, because processor GPU gets you to Windows.
- (you do not get to Win7) In case that this is not the case (have not experienced this having overvolted Bios for 3 months) you can always reflash bios through memory stick at boot.
- will not hurt your GPU, chill
Cant overclock
