Hey, how much do you guys trust the Catalyst overclocking stress test? I think the test is pretty weak in determining the stability of the overclock. Many times my 3870 has passed the CCC stress test and then crashed later in games...

Btw, here is my GPU-Z Validation for my 3870.

HR-03 with a nice fan on it or a Accelero S1 with a fan on it will do wonders.
the S1 is definetly cheaper tho.

Accelero S1 plus turbo module looks nice and pretty cheap.

Real-Time High Dynamic Range Image-Based Lighting is the way to go.

(See: rthdribl's website)

Adjust the options and size until you have 99% or more load. Do not exceed 100% load, the program will crash. A good load is 99.5% or so.

Leave the program to run for an hour. If after an hour, it is still running without any visible artifacts, you can proudly proclaim your overclock stable. In theory anyway.
