Default 3dmark06 stress settings?

should 3dmark be one of the stress tools i use for OCing my gpu? If so what should be my settings and how long?

another question when I use 3rdmark benchmark when it gets to i think red valley(the mars looking one) My fps drops down to 4, why is that?

You fps drop in red valley is because its a cpu test, its normal... ATI tool, 3dmark vantage and furmark (be careful with this one, some people say its to extreme) are better for testing your OC

3DMark06 is very cpu dependant, if you want to bench your gpu 3DMark Vantage is better
