What do you use to test GPU stability

[Jim Morbid]

Hey all

Busy cranking the shaders on my 8600GT and 8500GT (no laughing!) but I'm having trouble checking the stability. My old trusted friend ATITOOL doesn't seem to be able to select a specific card when you scan for artifacts, and is this even a good test?

Fold on team!

I used the gpu2 client :D

but no I don't overclock my cards or shadders..

I would guess 3dmark or aquamark would work.

beat me to it, yep fur is a very good tester, I always use it for daily settings
install, select stability test and temp monitor and watch it for 30-60mins
