now what ive noticed is that some games that is not really well optimized for high end cards freezes and gets BSOD.. One of my friend has a 5870 and im curious why he has so many different overclocking profiles on rivatuner, i noticed that underclocking your mid-high end gpu will give smooth performance on cod4, dead space and mw2 (which that game has so many freezing points).. And im thinking that shaders is a big part of overclocking which some games would get BSOD when you overclock at least 30-50 % with core clock.. Now when i played MW2 and dead space, i underclock my core clock for like 30% and ddnt experience any freezes at least 2 hours of gaming.. But with crysis, i mean downclocking it is not preferable.. shaders is a big help for this game..

Does somebody here has a couple of overclocking profiles using rivatuner?
