tighter timings on ram might be it. just my guesse. might also have something to do with board harmonics, I've heard intel boards like the number 16.6 and it's multiples.

Only guess but if card OC is too high it will pause/lower clock for some time like CPU when overheated - but strangely enough cards do that not only when overheated, but when just crapping out bcs of their limit, some kind of error check comes in and it can still work good while decreasing performance up to some point - after that card will just pause for some secs or show artifacts (that was true to some of my nvidia cards, but I think same for ATI).

Maybe a different version of drivers on the install CD?
Or did u just pop it in and go with it?
