I am looking for your reccomendations for a stress tester than can stress my GPU for hours or days to test for stability. Folding@Home is nearing a point at which they will release their GPU client for beta testing and I'd like to be sure that my GPU cooling solution will be able to handle continuous load for extremely long periods of time.

Think along the lines of Prime95 for GPUs. I do not, as of yet, know how exactly the system calls will be made but I suppose it will be through OpenGL.

Can you folks help me?
 
Thanks lads! I'm running rthdribl and my X850 with an AC Silencer is getting nice and toasty. Last I checked it was up to 58 degrees. I'll leave it run for the next day or so and see how she does. :)

My X800XT-PE at X850+ never goes above 50c when gaming or stressing, thats with a VF900, so you could consider one of those if 60c~ gets too uncomfortable :p
 
Well I am running 600 MHz core and 640 MHz memory.

It still has 12 pipes though, even after flashing to XT-PE. I hear some Pros cannot be flashed to have 16 pipes do to some laser cutting malarky.
 
That program is so perty :p

Doesn't do a lot heat wise though. Seems to be severely limited by vsync on my crt (75Hz) and uses 100% cpu with fullscreen anyway. AtiTool is the best though, fantastic prog.

Get ati-demo-theassassin-v1.0 & ati-demo-toyshop-v1.2

My cards have never ran hotter :) the assassin realy pushes it.
 
Well it's been running along with FAH since yesterday evening. ATi Tool says that the card is at 51 degrees. I imagine that 58 yesterday was a bit of a fluke. It is rather warm in here and those xeons do put out a lot of heat.

I'm going to try this assassin program. I'm intrigued. :)
