good GPU stress testing program

[ddamian]

What's a good program to test for stability for my EVGA 8800GTS 512mb

OCCT, that could even perform a memory test.

This.

If your GPU can pass the stress test in this program for any real length of time, it is stable.

I always wonder about the effectiveness of the OCCT GPU/VRAM test set. Good to know.

I always use Furmark as a GPU stress test http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

Furmark got 'patched' by some vendors due to the heat and popularity, OCCT does the same but is not recognized.

So if you want to burn the VRMs of a 4870 or 90, you should use OCCT 😉

I used OCCT and is the best to stress my GPU, it can reach up to 82C under load with the shader core reaching 100+C in temperature, no game can do that!

Well, I doubt anybody will agree with me, but F@H sure gets mine hot, and stresses them, and when I OC too much, they EUE.

OCCT is the best 😉

OCCT is what i use. hasnt failed me yet =D

be careful! these things can kill your card.

but really isn't 3dMark enough?

 

[Stefan Payne]

No, it isn't.
Furmark/OCCT is better.

I used furmark but that program is really stressful, had to add a fan near the card just to complete a run. occt is more reasonable. i have tried both although occt is one stop shop, even had linpack inside very convenient.
