Huh??? Video cards are much easier with none of the risk. The worst thing that happens is you start getting artifacts on the screen. Then you just back it down. CPUs will ruin Operating systems, destroy themselves or your mobo.
To the guy that asked, I use riva tuner. I got the core speed up to 275 and the memroy speed up to 583. With the 128 card you should be able to get about the same on the core speed but not as much on the memory speed. The 128mb cards dont have as overclockable memory as the 64mb cards. When I said close to 4600 speeds, I was talking about the memory speed, the core is still materially slower. I got an extra 500 pts on my 3d mark scores.[/quote:bf1f0]
Not nesscessarily. Particles and distorment are the start, but without optimum cooling, your actually burning the filaments in the GPU. This is real bad for the card. If you have a recent video card (I'd say GF4 or RADEON series), the card should by default just turn off, hence you crash or freeze. But older cards are not all guranteed to do this.
