    What kind of settings do people generally choose when stress-testing with Kombustor?

    Just clicking "Burn-In" on 1080p (no post-processing) maxes my card out at 90C in a minute and a half. On the other hand, using the 3D Tests tab with 1080p and 8x MSAA, only gets me to 90C after six minutes. How is the burn-in that much more taxing on my GPU?

    I'm looking for settings that'll tax me more than games will, but not by a gigantic margin. I mean, there's no point in testing with settings that no game will ever approach in terms of GPU load, since that's just not realistic.

    So...What options do you select when running Kombustor?
