FurMark GPU Testing Questions

[PcGamingRig]

Hey,

I am overclocking my GPU and have a few questions about FurMark testing...

What FurMark test is best to run to test an overclocked GPU? What test best represents what it is actually going to perform like when running a game? Are some of FurMark's tests overkill compared to the stress brought on your GPU by a game? How long should I run FurMark for?

I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce OC Edition so if anyone has overclocked this card and has some idea of its limits it would also be helpful.

Thank you.

Furmark is useful for stability testing because it maxes out the gpu 100% of the time. Furmark is not going to be the best for real world performance, I would run something like Unigine's heaven benchmark for some more realistic results.

I would figure you would be able to get something like ~1500 mhz on your gpu, considering my 750 ti can do that...
