I've been attempting to overclock my GPU recently. As a beginner, I followed an overclocking guide, but things took a turn when something unexpected happened. I needed a way to show FPS in games, so I thought afterburner might help. However, there was no Enable On-Screen Display or FPS option in the monitoring tab, so I moved it to another hard drive. This caused issues because I increased my core clock to 1000 MHz from 947, then lowered it to 975. Artifacts appeared, and after a few minutes they filled up quickly, leading to a crash. Every time I adjusted the core or memory clock, the benchmark would stall for about 15 seconds before crashing again. After uninstalling the afterburner on my other drive and using the one on my SSD, the problem persisted. I can still run my PC without touching the afterburner, but I'm unsure how to proceed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don't push it too hard.
It might be a card that didn't perform well.
If it's causing issues, leave it alone.
You risk damaging it.
Increasing speed isn't a sure thing.

It seems your card didn't perform well.
If it's causing issues, don't try to fix it.
Artifacting won't help—you'll waste it.
Overclocking isn't a sure thing.
Got it.

Yeah, it's true. Occasionally things go right, and other times they don't. Any artifacts indicate something unstable.
