I guess following the atitool fan override table you are not at 100% fan speed, nice temps indeed.
it just confirms that the chip runs quite cool, good point.
I don't agree. Mine will run up to 75c at 50-60% fan speed. Any higher and its a hairdryer - way too loud.
Yeah. Use riva 2.06 to force 100% fans and oc core/ shader and memclocks and once you set them open ati tool and check for artifacts.

at 756/1836/2000 ati tool artifacts, but crysis plays for an hour, no artifacts nothing, im usising vista x64 is ati tool a reliable nvidia tool???? i mean it is ATI tool???? what do you guys think, i need some expert advice.
Don't know if it has been posted yet or not, but a rumor is going around about a bad batch of cards getting into retail. Rumor states that 2d is fine but can be slow, but going into 3d bsod's the computer.
This is exactly how my XFX card acted. Bummer...

ATITool has always been the utility I trust most as it's the most stressful for gfx card I was able to find, like you say it's even better finding artifacts than playing Crysis, if it's atitool stable it's stable for all games too. Like my 7900GTO would be artifact free in 3DMark at 700~705MHz core setting but require 690 to be Atitool artifact free. Great utility for artifact scanning and temp measurement. And a good thing you don't need to run it for long to know if the clock is unstable or not, even 15mins is a very good indication, testing over 1hr to me seems totally unnecessary in this utility.Quote:

So now for me I am using both to test stability.
There's still a possibility there's a driver/game incompability too. Maybe maybe not, but you can't deny that either.
im opposite as i can have artifact free atitool and yet the occasional ingame glitch...eg.Quote:

but maybe with your oc right on the edge of stable it's different. :shrug:
does orthos stress gcards??
what other gcard specific test is there?
anyway if it's stable in the games you want to play who cares? the real stress test is the actual app...
theteamaqua says "crysis stable" - i think it is an apt term.
why bothering with atitool for artifact scanning for hours? it just makes the gpu generate maximum heat, I don't find it much more interesting than that.Quote:

anyone, replace the paste on the card???
Well ATITool has for me been very accurate for the last 3 cards I've been using and found artifacts a bit before any game/benchmark I've tested so for me it's been the optimal test. Well perhaps it's different with Geforce8 series as ATITool perhaps might not stress the shader domain that heavily so that could be the reason for you that Crysis would show glitches earlier due to unstable shader clock. That's my best guess, using both sounds like a good idea.
i thinned out the paste on the core attempting to make better contact using stock hsink. i thought about putting on diffrent goo but i was too lazy :doh:
i could see by the impression the core had made in the paste that the core was not sitting flat onto the heatsink as it came to me out of the box.
always, since mounting my 1A-SL2 every time. as5 each time.
All good points. Atitool IMHO is a very good stress tool and I have used it for a long time and I will continue to use it along with Crysis for my tests.
I've already experienced the reverse situation of adam, ie card stable in atitool's artifact scanning and not in games. with a X800 Pro.Quote:

orthos or occtpt are ok for me as they test the cpu cores at their maximum and are reliable enough to ensure all others apps will run fine, but gpu talking, I'm not sure that many other games will stress your gpu more than crysis does atm, so playing your current "heaviest gpu duty" game should be enough in my opinion

750mhz core >>> artifacts just a litle bit after 30 seconds @ atitool
so i would say max stable clocks without artifacts @ Stokcooler (90%) = around 745mhz core
:up:
um, those aren't temps that really represent the stock cooler. let it run for 10+ minutes until your temps stabilize and the graph is flat. also, the 3d (fuzzy spinning cube) generates more heat then artifact scanning ;p
also, just cause it doesn't generate artifacts in ati tool doesn't mean it is stable in game. I can clock my card over 770mhz, run 3dmark06, ati tool, but it will crash in crysis or hellgate london.
hmmm, i think scan for artifacts more heat generated then 3d View ...Quote:

it then dropped to 45/46C in some areas, and this is with HR 03 regular only .. cant wait for that 6 heatpipe GT... i have VF900 on my 2nd card, and its actually like 9C hotter than my 1st card in 3dmark06, lostplanet ....
Hey did you get a better max OC with the HR03, or was it the same as stock???Quote:
