Just got my gigabyte gtx 760 windforce.

Ran at default 1085 : 1150 MHz boost the physx burn in text at 1080p.

Saw some artifacts (lines down screen about halfway through only on the part where the test shows the cube field, tessellated sphere, cloth physx simulation and particle simulation. It still passed the test though.

in this ppicture it showed lines running vertically down the screen, obviously not supposed to happen

Is this general test just hard on the system ? I wanna push it farther, just curious what to do with the kombustor stability test in kombustor or if I should use a diff test alongside uningine valley very high. which passes fine overclocked as high as 1150 base / 6628 mem fps 40.7 and temp 75

I ran crysis 3 maxed out very high 1080p which ran great! so much better than stock's

Seems stable cuz it's not a very big overclock. I was following hardocp's tutorial on gigabyte windforce overclock guide.


Temps don't exceed 75

I wouldn't worry too much about your video card's behavior on Kombustor. It is an extreme test, really a worst case scenario. On top of that, Nvidia GPU's may be hard-wired to throttle down when running a stress test (that's definitely the case with Furmark, which Kombustor is based on).

I would play your games and test with Unigine and use that as your main way of testing your OC. Kombustor is fine, but just be aware that, even if you see weird things on Kombustor, it doesn't mean that you've exceeded your OC for other applications.

Another thing you can use is the new "Reasons" data built into the GTX 700 series and Afterburner. it can tell you which OC variable is maxing out and holding back your OC. That allows you to make...

Thanks for the reply! Haven't heard of "reasons". Is it only accesible in afterburner?

I have oc guru and afterburner, but use oc guru since my cards gigabyte and like the features.
