titan, if you can bring down the memory clocks lower.
i experienced this type of "corruption" during reboot with 1600MHz sideport memory clocks & 895MHz GPU. after a reset/reboot it just went away. probably insufficient voltages. but bring it down if you can.

very nice benches oldtimer! thanks for the kudos dave!
i'm signing off now on the gaming benches, chew*. gonna wait for that sp|ntel hsf to come around so i can play with DICE again. on second thought, i may spend the whole weekend twiddling with gpu-memory sizes to find that sweet spot you tipped us about!
