Okay, I tried furmark and tried to relate my performance to what they
have posted and I must be doing something wrong. I have a GTX280 (older
one I admit), but I was merely getting 3051 when others have posted 10
times as much. I'm only running an E8500, sure, but I can't be really
10 times slower....given the result I had, maybe I'm frame-locked to
60? I'll have to take a look...

That's a pretty good program. I bypassed it on my google search since
it was not 64 bit, but it still runs.

I've used it once...seemed to work well.

Quake 3 isn't going to stress a modern card particularly well?
I'd have thought Far Cry 2's benchmark would have been a better
stress test.

Will Quake 3 run in a continuous loop? I've run both demos several
times at the high res with all features on. No problems. New
vidcard installed.
Frankly, I've been using eqiupment for a while with zero problems.
The problems started with the first Radeon. So far, over a short
span, this card seems to be fine.

If you can't narrow this down to driver issue, my first thought
would be power supply going south. I've seen similar issues when
the power supply isn't providing quite enough power to the
system. Video card could be iffy or even mainboard. As for video
stress test I still use a quake3 demo loop although I'm sure there
are much better tests available.

Subject: [H] Testing Graphic Card Stability
Ok....
I had a HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 in this system. Tried all drivers
available, using driver cleaner to remove previous drivers, etc,
yet the same result persisted: Crashing.. Yesterday, my PC reboot
several times during the day. On some days, it doesn't do that.
I just loaded in A Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 in thsi system. While
these cards are basically the same, performance wise, they boards
are different as this one has to DVI ports on it while the other
other only had one. Thus, the layouts of the boards are very
different (I didn't want to risk getting the exact same board for
fear of some fundamental problem in the board design from HIS or
ATI).
So far, and not much time has gone by since I just installed this
board a couple of hours ago, things seem to be working. WEI works
as done some program I got called Performance Test.
My question is what software can I use the drive this video card
in a loop to see if it really works or not? Or, am I going to
have to see here and wait for a crash?
Thanks.
