ATI tool works great as does RivaTuner. I personally use rivatuner for the OC, but ati tool for the stability test.

Do us all a favour and don't use nTune.

Stick to RivaTuner, ATI Tool or ATI Tray Tools. I find nTune extremely buggy and just plain difficult to work with.

As was suggested earlier you may want to consider using RivaTuner to overclock with and then use ATI Tool to scan for artifacts.

Definitely stay away from nTune for any system optimization.
