Best multi GPU stress test.

[Smoblikat]

Just got a second GTX 470 for SLI (picked it up for 100$ ) and want to know the best multi GPu stress test since both cards are running at my custom settings.

Download Heaven 3.0, run max settings, post a screenshot

I've found running the Crysis benchmark looped is a better stability test than Heaven. I can run Heaven at 1300mhz core but I can't go past 1240mhz in Crysis.

Ran it on max, 100% stable. temps peaked at 76C both cards and fan never passed 75% both cards.

Good to know, ill give it a try now.

How do you loop crysis anyway? 3rd party tools?

It will tell you nothing of stability, but to check your peak temps, nothing beats furmark (even with the throttling that both brands are now doing).

Yeah there's a Crysis benchmark tool out there and you just set it to 50 runs or whatever.

So i ran unigine heaven and have my results. they are saved as an HTML link, how do i save them as a nice picture so I can post them here. I would like to do some tests on scaling with clocks and SLI.

Play some Crysis, thats how I found out that my open box GTX570 was bad. It ran fine in quite a few games but showed artifacts in Crysis.

What about the error checking GPU tool in OCCT? Is that not more easy and accurate? What do you guys think?

It'll probably just throttle unless you can find some way around the power limiter. I'm sure that there is a way to do it.

Crysis/Crysis 2 for 30 minutes or longer is the best stress test hands down. Agreed.
