Same like some others I believe the heading is little sensational and even misleading, since OCCT is sure not the only GPU benchmark whether new or not.

Now we have basically two arguments here going on and on.

First even if this can't be duplicated in ANY game, some people including Tetedejench argue MAYBE one day this problem will show in future games. We all know sooner or later all Graphic cards are going to be obsolite. Since the game developers need to sell many games it usually doesn't happen too fast.

The other argument is, nobody plays OCCT so who cares and I kind off agree with that since I don't have any problem with the card at all. Looks like mainly Nvidia guys have problem with the card even if they don't have any.

Now I did run the OCCT shader 3 bench with NO error check and it crashed immediately so it could not have anything to do with overheating.
It crashed so badly that i could not get the Vista 64 Appearance Option till second reboot, so I was telling myself this OCCT really sucks.

Anyway I tried too more settings.

First with Shader 1, NO error check and it run OK. Here is the graph, 1 minute idle, 1 minute test and 4 minute idle.


Than I tried to run the Shader 3 with the error check ON, same times as above and it did not crush at all. The graph looks the same as the above one except the Error Check. The test went in full screen but the "furry wheel" was not moving yet the test looks the same including FPS reported. This Graph reports "Test Completed without errors" which is not right.
So the simple application also has errors. Here is the graph.


The test was run with 4870 X2 but I also tried without the crossfire with same results.

PS English is not my first language so don't get too critical about that.
