Haven't seen anyone answer your question. Stability mode would be for when you want to purposefully stress the card, perhaps to check your cooling scheme, or do a burn-in after a new build. Its effective, 30 minutes of stability mode got my BFG 8800 GT up to 92c. Normal idle is 57c, and Quake4 never got it much over 77c.
BTW, if anyone was wondering, this runs like a champ on Linux under Wine. I tried it on a lark, and it fired right up and flew straight on the first try.
In any case, my numbers are:
Default res: 2423 oMarks
1680x1050: 2307 oMarks
I think these are the first Linux numbers in this thread.
