Stress testing vista 64

[thejez]

Hello... i see a lot of people seem to think ATI Tool is a good way to stress test a GPU to see if the settings are stable... but this app doesnt seem to run on 64bit vista... what is the alternative?

I'm 99 percent sure ATi Tray Tools runs on 64-bit Vista. If you have an ATi based card you can use that. Plus if you have an ATi based card, ATi Tray Tools will give you a massive performance boost in games with some tweaking.

i think some people can "get it to run" by doing all sort of system tweaks (primarily because they didnt sign their driver and x64 doesnt let unisigned drivers on the system period -- this is a good thing). But i dont really feel like doing a bunch of hacks just to stress a card... i figured there would be an alternative... but maybe not?

ok i see that you can disable driver signing during boot which will only last until the next reboot... this should be better than disabling it all together... i can just boot into disabled mode when i want to work the card over...
