Orthos type tool for graphics cards

[SupraWez]

Hey All,

My machine freezes sometimes during game play of COD4, I thought I had it solved yesterday but today it started happening again

I can run Orthos on mem and cpu for a good couple of hours without issue so I dont think its CPU related, is there similar tool for me to test the BFG 8800GT.

I am using RivaTuner which is currently set at 680/1703/960, yesterday I played for hours without issue with 680/1703/980 but today it crashed after 20min

Any help would be great.

I am wondering if the hot spell the other day due to a jammed fan might have done some perm damage

In other threads I have seen people remove ATiTool as it was causing problems

Are you using Rivatuner to control your fan speeds? When I first got my 8800GT it also locked up when playing COD4. Basically because nvidia decided to only supply 29% fan power up to god knows what limit. After using Rivatuner (what a great tool), it now runs (relatively!) cool and silent even after hours of Codding and Crysising!

I have my fans on 99% and it was still crashing, temps rose to approx 80degC.

When the fan jammed I saw temps of 114degC

Would this OpenGL Fur Rendering Benchmark be any good?

I would say it would...

It also seems to stress cpu cores looking in task manager.

Regarding fur benchmark, what should I set the MSAA too, x32?
