Help OCing my 8800gt
Stock speeds are 625/1566/900
I've been able to get it up to at least 700-725/1753-1816/1000
Temps are still good with just the stock cooler on it. Just wondering what the best way to test for stability is? Is there a program that will detect errors/artifacts?

Furmark 1.6.5 will beat the crap out of your card, but be warned, it is a heeeeeaaaaavvvvvvy load and watch your temps close. If your oc can handle 10-20 minutes of that, then you should be good for some lengthy gaming.
Again, I stress caution with such a tool or my avatar could be your computer :eek: lol, not really, you'll prob just BSOD, but you get my point now.

furmark is nice for temps but if you want to know if you are 100% stable just play crysis
-
In OCCT you can do a GPU error checker. Which works nice, just run it for 15mins. to check for artifacts.

I use Furmark and the benchmark from Crysis. I blieve there is one for FarCry 2 also. Then there is always futuremark to test it also.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll grab OCCT and furmark and see how she goes. I've been running the crysis warhead benchmark just as a performance indicator and havent noticed any artifacts yet.
EDIT: Just ran OCCT error check 1680x1050.... How many errors is normal....? :S
Ran at stock clocks and got 28000 errors temps got up to 80 in a 6min (1 min of actual test) test. Stock cooler, Not sure if the fan speed went up or stayed at 25%
EDIT 2: Ran again 1280x800 windowed, temps lower (fan on 100%) this time with clocks in my sig, only got 1 error
Ran a third time with clocks 740/1854/1000, 0 errors, also, whats the coef number mean?
