Is Minor Tearing Ok?

[12am]

Hi I have my gf2 gts overclocked to 230/400 ... now I get minor bits of (snow) little white dots on my screen they aren't too bad I can live with it.... (I can only see about 5-10 at a time)... now I know this is due to the ram overclocking... now what I want to know is will this damage my ram?? will exposing the hardware to these little blips fry my card in any concievable way?

no... any visual artifacts mean that you are going beyond the limits of your card. if you want to kill your memory... stay at those speeds.

If there is any image artifacts such as you described your definitely pushing your card too far. Your risking instability at the very least, and I wouldnt be at all surprised if you considerably shortened the life time of your card.

My question is, is it really worth a few extra FPS when your having to put up with constant graphical artifacts?
