I can't get any higher than 587/650 on my 7950GTX without artifacts -- and it pisses me off highly...

I just realized -- my 7950GTX has HORRIBLE clocks compared to everyone else! The best clock I can possibly get have been 587/650! I get artifacting at 600/700, let alone these insane 650/800 clocks others are getting... WTF?

This is all just kind of making me wonder what exactly nVidia is doing nowadays. The drivers have been slow to come out, and haven't really improved much since 94.20 and such came out (in fact they have gotten worse IMHO -- overclocking...

Pssshhhh... Job Shmob... Didn't your mommy ever teach you that excuses don't get you anywhere??? ... LOL! J/K man. I myself just got a new job, and start soon (finally). Ugh. My first REAL job fresh out of college, so...

Sounds good buddy. Thanks for the info!

As said by Tony above, 94.20's and 97.92's got updated with the most recent driver tweakset. This may have slowed things down a bit for you.
