I just got a second hand GTS250 1gb with Zalman VF1050.
It's working fine in Win7 x64 on the desktop and in a few games I tried (Assassin's Creed 2, Dead space).
Found some time to test it out with GPUtool and OCCT.
What happens is I get errors reported on default clocks as soon as temps go over 70-74C.
I get visible artifacts splotches in the test window, which correspond to the errors reported.
OCCT:gpu with error checking starts reporting errors as soon as it hits 60C on the GPU.
Furmark showed and reported no errors up to 88C (the temps stabilized there).
I also run OCCT gpu:memtest and it never showed any errors no matter how hot the gpu was.
All these temps are well in the normal working range for the G92 chip (IIRC the nVidia reference card runs at 105C.
In other HW/OC forums I got told
a) that the memory is dying
b) that all is well and I should stop running needless tests.
I got reports from other GTS250 users that they also get errors in OCCTgpu/GpuTool while their card is running normally in games and such.
Can someone with a GTS 250 please run some tests to confirm, please?
Tested the card in another system (p45/e6300), same results.
Can any one pinch in their thoughts and preferably some hard data as I'm stumped with this all.
My specs:
Win7 x64 ultimate
e6550
Gigabyte p35-ds3r
4x2gb ddr 1066
Gigabyte gv n250oc 1gb
Antec p182 (4x12cm)
Enermax PSU 12v@33A single rail
