Default yellow dot when running ati tool...
Ok so when running ATI tool for 10 mins I get no errors, however after about 4 minutes a tiny yellow dot appears in the top corner of the screen.. Obviously when there are errors, there are lots of yellow dots... But why is there no errors/why is that single dot there?

Thanks.

You can set a threshold, so that you could have lots of errors tollerated or very few - I can't remember how but have a look around the settings.

Its an artifact. IMO a artifact is a artifact. Being 1-100 still is one.

Run it for like 30+ min. If its there then imho its no good. But I am paranoid when it comes to stuff like that.

The slider is under the artifact scanning drop down menu. It's one click to the left by default, slide it all the way left for most sensitive.

That one dot = game crashes.

You could also try "FUR mark" to see if it artifacts in that.

Makes random dots go away.

This should only be done if games show no graphic anomalies while AT shows them.
