Hey all,
Just wondering how well the ATI tool tests Nvidia for stability and such? Here's my situation.
I have a vmodd 1.5v 7900GT (690 / 1650) w/ VF900 (44-64C) and when I run ATI tool artifact scan it just about immediately gets artifacts on the little fuzzy cube. However, I can run any game and 3dmark06 constantly and everything is fine, not one artifact or BSoD; so gaming is good.
Now when I vmodd to 1.55v (same clocks) and do the artifact scan I get no artifacting (my longest test has been 20 minutes). But I don't care for the temps on 1.55 (load 68C).
Therefore, my question is should I keep the 1.5v mod or go back to the 1.55v?
Because I know these cores can hang for awhile but then they just die! LOL.
