Since I just upgraded the hs/fan on my agp x1950xt, I've been running some tests trying to find the overclocking sweet spot. 3DMark03's Game Test 4: Mother Nature is screwing me up though. It seems to always die at the same spot about 3/4 through when I set my core to anything above 688.
With my core set to 709, I can run 3DMark05, 06, and the Half Life 2: Lost Coast Stress Test over and over but not 03's Mother Nature. Is there a reason that this specific test is failing and nothing else? I just want to know if I'm going crazy for no reason and should maybe ignore it.
It's not my temps because I log them with Ati Tray Tools and it's usually only in the low 50s when Mother Nature crashes. Other tests run it up to the low 60s and it's fine.
Edit: Meh, I guess I'll just lower the core but I'm still curious why 03 would show me the instability better than 05 or 06.
