How long does ATITool take?

[yamangman]

I've had it running 'find max core' for 3 hours now, and its had no errors on 413.10 core for 114 mnutes. Does it finish? Or do you stop it yourself?

Cheers

stop it your self I do belive....

In one of the submenus for settings you can also set it to stop after x seconds. Would recommend 3600s is enough - 114m is plenty!

Yea, I did stop it and tried it at 413.10 in Doom III for a while, but I eventually started experiencing little red and white dots - err, in the game that is - the only conclusion I can draw is that the warm up phase simply wasn't getting the card hot enough, I reduced it a few (410 I think) and i've had no artefacts since.


Cheers guys.

Did you test the memory? I'm guessing this is a 9800 from the core speed. I've also found slight instability in games despite what atitool says when there is too much or too little thermal paste between the gpu/cooler.

Yea did the memory, reduced that a little too from what ATITool thought was stable, I think it's on 360 now.

I just see what everyone else has achieved and use that as a guide on when to stop it..Been 100% so far.
