Best way to check overclock stability? - Page 2 - Overclock.net

I will run numourus loops of the crysis benchmark tool, a few runs of 3dm06 and vantage, furmark for a few minutes, then ill go ahead and play a game for a while and make sure I see no artifacts. Best way to test IMO is to use a variety of different tools.

Run furmark for 15minutes. If it's fine with that it will handle anything.

OCCT gpu test...the only gpu stress test that I'm aware of that works well with latest generation of ATI/Nv gpus and reports back artifacts.

You could also download Crysis benchmark tool or Warhead benchmark tool and loop either assault (crysis vanilla) or ambush (warhead) levels several times over to check for OC stability.

Thanks for any advice.

On Nvidia cards max core clock must be 0.5 * shader clock. I would start of with core OC first and adjust shader clock higher if needed (let say you reach the max allowed by 0.5 relation) Test your memory oc last but if you have non-oc GTX 285 version I think the GDDR3 chips on it are rated for 1400 or 2800Mhz actual.

Oh yeah, Crysis is just a benchmark tool!
