I can't seem to find any good benchmark programs other than Valley/Heaven and FurMark. Everything else which is good costs money, anyone got any ideas?

You can get 3D mark (firestrike), 3D mark 11 and vantage demos for free

I would at least get 3D mark for firestrike

In the GPU thread for Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970, 980, 980ti thread I've been following they primarily use Final Fantasy XIV set at 4K, which can be done with DSR on an Nvidia card. It's free and seems to work quite well as a benchmark and overclock stability testing program. Usually refer to it as FFXIV.

Furmark is sometimes called a GPU "power virus". Good way to test how your setup handles excessive heat from the GPU, but an OC that won't pass Furmark might still be game stable.

Totally forgot to mention Catzilla. Only lets you run up to 720p in free version but will run up to 4K in $15 paid version.

Aside from heaven/valley as mentioned I would go with firestrike. You can also google any specific gpu review and see what benchmarks the reviewers are using too.
