Default Best Benchmark Sotware Testing Rivatuner?

Ok. I have a nvidia 8400gs. Yes, junk I know. I want to set up Rivatuner and would like to know what is simple to use to test the settings in overclocking profile. I just want something that tells me pass or fail from when I raise and lower the clocks. I had a decent program b4. But, I forget what it was called and lost everything on my computer last week. I used it so long ago, I forgot the name. I need something to do a good stress test on the GPU so i can get the clocks right @ optimal speeds.Thanks in advance for replies.

Before doing a benchmark run you need to make sure that the clock speed is stable. Run ATITool's artifact scanner for 30min. If you didn't see any artifacts then that means your ok to go.

As for the benchmark part, I suggest running FurMark and recording the score.

edit: overclocking is not recommended on laptops... or your better keep an eye on the laptop's overall temps.
