Just curious if anyone uses BF3 as a stability test. Typically it's the game that I find crashes the most if an OC is unstable, passing Heaven, Furmark, 3d mark, and crashing after gaming in BF3. I think it could stem from BF3 using so much vRAM perhaps?

lol, funny you should ask
10 minutes of any stress test = OK
10 minutes of BF3 = drivers have stopped responding
I guess it's partially due to the use of VRAM.

The reason I say that is it's like testing prime with only 2gb of memory same principal i suppose.
