I have a 460 GTS with 2GB and it has been running absolutely flawless for 3
years now.
I don't think the chip is primarily relevant to stability.
From my experience it's much more a question of the cards maker, bios and
drivers (and combinations thereof) rather than the actual silicon underneath.
Likewise you could argue that Soft runs more stable on Intel than on AMD, but
I've heard nothing like that and I've never experienced any difference either.
You are either lucky with the card, or you are not. It crashes? Try a different
driver. Still crashes? Try on a different system. Still crashes? Try a
different bios. Still crashes? Buy one from a different maker. So far (the last
12 or so years) I was always lucky and could resolve everything by using a
different driver, or driver settings (like disabling multithreaded
optimisations), and _not_ turning Windows Aero (or whatever it's called) off.
400 series in general are problematic with Softimage. There was some key
architecture change that doesn’t sit well. We experienced a lot of blue
screens and other issues with the 460 and 480.
The 500 and 600 series seem to be ok.

I've got a gtx680 and 470 in the same machine. It seems like it was defaulting
to the 470 so I forced physX to use the 680 and haven't had an issue since.

Must be a nvidia issue. What's the other card model?
And don't punch Softimage ;) Not its fault.

Thanks guys!
I possibly have solved it (at least it's not crashing). I have 2 nVidia cards
& physX was set to auto in the nVidia control panel. I specified my GTX 680
and that seems to have fixed it for now.

I have seen a glitch like this many years ago and somehow there were extra
simulation environments in the scene for some unknown reason.

I had the same issue lately with Momentum (Supressing the whole simulation
re-made the scene stable) (though, in your case it could be different reasons
of course).
You could save your icetree in a big compound, delete your environments, save
your scene (without any sim) and re-past your compounds in fresh new
pointclouds.
I just hate when SI does this...
