What do you guys sue for Graphic Card Stability Test?
Memory test?
Thank you.

memtest86 and ocz memtest have nothing to do with graphics at all.. they run from dos and use all of 3 colors. for graphics card testing, use 3dmark 01 03 05, Aquamark, things like that. Those will show artifacts if your overclock is too high. For temperature testing, search for that RTHDRIBL thing, it runs in a window and puts more power through card in 10 minutes than 12 hours of 3d gaming. My video card idles in the 50's, gets into the 70s after hours of gaming.. RTHDRIBL gets my card up to 83-84 in about 1 minute. That's as high s it gets though, so its all good.

Try this like hagz said if it runs fine your graphics card is stable. Watch your temps though this thing shoots them through the roof.

What can I use to monitor my graphic crad's temp? I use Asus probe but only have cpu voltage and stuff.

rivatuner if you have an nvidia card.. open up the hardware monitoring and you get a nice little graph that shows your temps.

How long am I suppose to leave RTHDRIBL on and what temp is dangerous?
How long before I know its stable?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, the word from the BFG folks is that max load temp shouldn't go past 110-120. I'd say if it's 90-100 max or under you should be fine.
