Best Video card stress test tool? - Page 3

Furmark and OCCT are GPU killers!!! I stick with simple artifact detectors like ATItool and GPUtool.


The only GPU core I've killed was running Furmark. Killed plenty of memory on GPUs, but the one GPU core was due to Furmark. Will never use it again.

I found furmark useless for stability testing, great for seeing the highest temps a gpu can reach though.
Spent a good amount of time using furmark once to find the highest stable clocks, got to where I saw some artifacts after a little while running so backed it down to where it was all good for 20 minutes or so. Stable in furmark wasn't stable for anything else, folding & benchmarks would all crash within seconds.
Gputool or evga OC scanner are supposed to be OK, quick tests with something like that to get a good starting point then test with the games/benches you normally run is best.
