is F@H for 24h a good sign for a 100% stable graphic card?

That would mean that it's stable enough for F@H. I can fold on my card at some pretty high clocks, but wouldn't think of doing anything else with it at those clocks. I've tried gaming on my F@H clocks and had some pretty bad FPS followed by some crashing. I have to lower my shader speeds in order to game on my card.

rthdribl (http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/rthdribl/) is a mother. it will just about melt anything. oh it also stress tests.

if you download nhancer and enable supersampling you will see how hot your card can really get.:up:

I guess you guys haven't tried the big wu's yet? If you have an I7-860 and up F@H is an excellant stress test, especially if you raise the clock up. For example, during a EL WU fold for 72 hours or less at 3.6 ghz on a I7-920 and not having a failure with cpu pushed to the max at 100 percent on all cores while maintainig 70'C temps.
