Demon_ Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) All seemed fine, even with stress/load test, but DCS does not like overclocked GPU and crashes after a while.. :-( That depend of the stress/load used. Look like DCS was more demanding than this stress test. Good stress test for the video are not easy to find. MSI Kombustor is not very good. About I think the Gtx680 is 65% of the power of a Gtx980. The Gtx680 sli (in sli you increase to 175%, not twice the power) has the same performance than the Gtx690: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2013-vga-gpgpu/13-Battlefield-3-DirectX-11-B-Performance,2968.html The Gtx690 perform almost the same as the Gtx980.

Look like DCS was more demanding than this stress test. Good stress test for the video are not easy to find. MSI Kombustor is not very good. I agree. It seems like DCS is about the hardest stress test you can put on your GPU at the moment. ;) I used the FurMark Burn-In test with fullscreen and 2x MSAA, combined with Core2Max, a little tool to load your CPU cores as well. I always do this to ensure my PC can handle the thermal load. (Interesting enough, I found that loading 4 CPU cores, (3 when testing GPU), produced a higher amount of heat on my i7, than when loading 8 cores with use of HyperThreading.)

BitMaster Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 mind the caps ! if your GPU is already at max temp you better take extra care of your capacitors or they go up in smoke and melt away like a marshmallow ;) The fewer caps you have, the hotter they get.

DieHard Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah, I think that may be what's going on, too. I retrograded currently to 358.887 , the lowest Nvidia GeForce recommended on Win 7, 64-bit. My last post above suggested this version, but this looks like it is for Win 10. 355.82 - WHQL https://www.bing.com/search?q=nvidia+geforce+driver+355.82+-+WHQL&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR and will give your suggestion a try, too. My Asus Geforce GTX 680 (4GB vram) was ballpark $500 new for a single card, 3 or 4 years ago and the price has not moved very much from that when I looked via Google today. Thanks Settled for 314.22 WHQL , moved back a little bit. At least I can play the game on the 104th server and FPS is not too bad with my current setup in 1.5 and 2.0 . Thanks for the tips, guys.
