Testing GPU to the nuts

[yeechester]

what would be the ultimate test for a GPU... i want to make sure this GPU is stable... furmark... 3d mark 11... umm prime 95?? super pi?? i dunno.. or a game... anything that i can test it out on..i want something that will test my GPU 4 hours on end...

Prime95 and SuperPi are designed to test the CPU. I do not know of any equivalent for the GPU.

If you have an nVidia card, some kind of CUDA benchmark might be useful. Otherwise, pick the most demanding game you have and play it. If the temps stay within limits and you don't get any visual artifacts, it's good enough.

well i have metro 2033... but isnt there another game thats more demanding.. i think metro is more demanding than crysis...

Furmark will stress the card more than anything I know of.

F@H will load the card up as well and as an added bonus it will be helping to find a cure for many nasty illnesses.

Furmark will stress the card more than anything I know of.

That may also break the card which is why both ATi/AMD and Nvidia frown upon it's use.
