Mockingbird Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I bought a Geforce GTX 295 from someone in my town. Before I bought it, I already have it ran Heaven Benchmark for an hour on his computer. Anyway, he is giving me a week to return it if anything goes wrong. Is there anything else I need to test? The Antec Nine Hundred should give the video card an adequate airflow. Here's the rest of the specs of the computer: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20 Ghz Asus M4N82 Deluxe 4GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 4 x G.SKILL F2-6400CL5-1GBNQ Corsair TX650W 160GB 7200RPM Western Digital WD Blue WD1600AAJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phouchg Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Try Unigine Valley. I've noticed it eats more VRAM than Heaven. And then there's the classics: * 3DMark - Basic Edition is Free and also on Steam, if you like so * Furmark - just ensure that both GPUs are working (run fullscreen), but don't let temperatures go over 95 degrees - immediately kill it, if they do. You may try running PRIME95 In-place large FFTs *simultaneously* to see if your PSU can handle with the load. TX650W should be ok, but many things should and suddenly they're not - doubt everything.

Asharae Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I second Furmark. But just keep an eye on the temps. If i remember rightly, those 295s are a mini furnace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 The card ran 3D Mark Basic Edition without a problem. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2071091 As for furmark, the temperature hits 90C after 15+ minutes. I chickened out after that. I haven't run Unigine Valley yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
