FurMark and ATITool stress test. FurMark will take its temperature to ridiculous levels. Though I don't really see a point to doing this, since it would just cause the card to fail faster if it was gonna fail at all.
How do i stress my new video card?

Oh, definitely Furmark. I don't think you can do much better than Furmark! Give it a shot. It's also fun to watch the big realistic furry donut.

Not only that, but it stresses the card WAY more than ATi Tool ever can.

I would use rivatuner to oc and then furmark to stress it. I prefer furmark over atitools because ati tools sometimes states that the card is faulty when its really not.

I got a month to really stress test this video card out to make sure it wont die anytime soon and wait for another RMA. so what softwares and stuff should i do to really stress the card out, i wana work it out to make sure it can last, i can game for 6-8 hours straight sometimes, so its gotta last, i leave the computer on to download and load videos and stuff, so its gonna be on 24/7 what software to really push this baby? asides from OC'ing. |

il try furmark and [email protected], havent tried folding before as ive read around here ATI cards arent so good, will fold for test.
i dont want it to fail but i cannot treat the card lightly either, i really abuse cards with gaming, surfing and general usage,
many thanks,
