whats the most common GPU stability tester? furmark or something else?

 

[Kye7]

anyone?

lol, dude, you need to wait more than 5min to expect a response.

Furmark is probrobly the hardest on the gpu.

Another vote for Furmark - the gpu baker.

thanks, and how hot should my 5770 go? (msi hawk)

Eventhough there are "max" safe temps you can aim for, I would suggest a core of 80C or bellow and 100C or bellow for the VRMs. Keep a close eye on those VRM temps.

and what should the settings be at? its at 1280x1024 MSAA sampled are at NONE and post fx is enabled, what do i do with those?

 

[Kye7]

where do i find the VRM temps?

 

[Coldharbour]

try furmark mate. Furmark will display the GPU temps... also you download real temp and you can monitor your temps through rivatuner.

furmark with xtreme burning mode works good

 

[Kye7]

ok thanks, but how do i monitor VRM temps?

 

[SuperEmo]

Use GPU-Z to check VRM temps

Occt with error checking and 8 shader complexity is the toughest test to pass, imho.

@OP

Crysis or FarCry 2 loops get my vote.

Stability is what you make it. Use what you play and/or going to use the most.
