Im going to be OCing my graphics card with coolbits. I am going to raise each by 5-10 Mhz at a time and then test. Im looking for a reasonably quick test. Ultimately im going to do a before and after with 3dmark but to me that takes too long to test every 5-10Mhz change. So what is a quick stability test I can use? thanks!
 
What video card are you using because ATI tool kind of has a test built into it.

nvidia, leadtek 6800gt. Im gonna wait for the 8600s and r600 to come out and see how prices are on the 8800gts 640s. Im just getting into OCing and want something kinda easy to test stability, thanks.
 
Use 3dmark 01 and just use nature to test your vidcard..... Unlike the 3dmark03 and later version, you can run the test one at a time in 3dmark01.... Nature test mostly your graphic card so thats the only test you need to run.....
 
Thanks for the info guys. Using rthdribl and 3dmark I have gotten the following stable OC for my card.

My Card(Stock)
Memory 256 MB GDDR3
Memory Bus 256-bit
Core Clock 350 MHz
Memory Clock 1000 MHz (effective)
My Card(OCed)
Core Clock: 430Mhz
Memory Clock: 1.12Ghz

Stock 3dMark06 Score: 2524
OC 3dMark06 Score: 3028

What do you guys think? First OC ever, just using the coolbits. Temps are < 70c.
 
3dmark03 mother nature is the most GPU intensive benchmark. if theres instability this will show it. also firefly in 3dmark06 also is pretty GPU intensive.

nice going there, nice clocks. improving frm stock cooling will help if you CBA going that route.
