You will start to see artifacts or games will start to lag. What program are you using to overclock? I suggest ATI Tool, it has a scan for artifact tool.

Yes....you will see artifacts in whatever you are running or the games would lag like he said. Sometimes you overclock it too high and the temperatures get too high and it throttles itself to cool down and lags.
