Ok if that's true, the card is ordered. Even though Catalyst A.I. is a mystery to me. As I can see there's nothing but pros in here, so I grab the chance by its head of hair and ask the following (please excuse if this' the wrong thread): Does anybody know a Tool
other than the 3DM family (I only use 06 and Vantage) and the Crysis Benchmark Tool that can stress out a CF config? I tried (all in their newest availab. versions):
- the Masaki Kawase Tool (rthdribl)
- the Video Card Stability Test
- Lightsmark
- Furmark
- Cinebench
- ATItool artifact test
The benching is done like this (specs see sig. + pic): CF enabled and two open instances - for each card - of GPU-Z (latest ver. aswell) for monitoring load and temp. Whatever the Catalyst A.I. setting is (Disabled/Standard/Adv.)
none of the tools mentioned above is using both cards. Only the "main" one (in Slot 1) is fully stressed. Looking at the screenshot, please don't ask me why the 2nd one - which does nothing - is always hotter than the one that is actually doing all the work...that'll be another discussion
(I guess it's the watercooling loop). And something else: resolution or the place on the screen where the test is running never made any difference.
If CF is enabled in 3DM or in Crysis Bench Tool, well -wow- both cards are equally stressed. And if it comes to Catalyst A.I. in these tests, I never noticed any difference to whatsoever it was set to.
Thanks a lot for any comment and/or advice.
