3dmark03 or se01 would work

rthdribl, you'll get higher temperature with this.

I usually run 3dmark01 and put it in looping mode. You have to pay to get this feature in 03. I let it run all night with MBM5 on so I can monitor the temps.

yep best way is to just put it in a benchmark and loop it for a very long time, i usually do 20 loops or so and thats a pretty good assessment of how stable it is, but you never know until you use it constantly

3Dmark03 stress the card pretty well. Usually you will see artifacts when they run the "nature" test if your card is o/c too high.

[kooga_magnum]

yeah very true, when i Oc'd too high i only got artifacts on the nature test

you get white dots on the water during the "Nature" test, right?

Thats your GPU getting too hot.
