Hi, I change my gpu from an old ATI 9200 to a better supported NV7600
Me being computer sound adverse, both are silent i.e. I am fortunate that I can go by without gpu cooling fan noise. However from what I feel with my fingers and see via different tools (via (k)sensors, hdtemp and the nvdock/nvidia settings) the new card runs slightly "hotter" than the older, usually at 62° celsius, according to nvdock. While this is not a reason for concern in itself, it surely heats up my motherboard more than before. According to ksensors, this runs now about 8° hotter than before, still no concern, but apparently, better GPU perfonrmance comes at a prize. ;-)) Now I would like to really stress the Graphics Card, just to see how this affects my cooling and in order to do some "GPU cooling baselining". While on Windows there are lots of "Demo softwre" and benchmarking tools around, all of which really stress the graphics card, I cannot find anthing for Linux. Extensively googling did not help and the repositories also do not have something for me, as far as I can see. How can I heat up my graphics card? How do you do it.
