Sometimes when my GPU gets to 99% of load it freezes. Is there a way to limit it like to 95% or something? Thanks!

I've never heard of a GPU freezing up under load.

I have, however, seen it many times where a GPU overheats under load. Your solution? Buy a fan to cool it or use something like rivatuner to underclock your GPU slightly so it runs cooler.

No mate, it doesn't overheat, it goes up to 85 max under load. Thanks though. I will try to underclock it (already did it before but only by a little notch, will try to do some more).

Download MSI Afterburner and give card a little more voltage, just a little though, should make it more stable.

If its stuggling under load then more voltage can help, especially if its a factory overclocked version. Same with a CPU really, sometimes they can be unstable and just need some more voltage to keep stable at full load, its worth a shot :) Just keep an eye on the temps and maybe increase your fan speed.
