Good Artifact Scanner

[Guest]

Hello!
Atitool does not work for me, so I'm wondering what's a good artifact scanner/stress test that I could use? I tried Furmark but I don't think there's a artifact scanner in there (unless I just can't find it).

Thanks!

OCCT has always worked well for me and has error checking.

I'm OCING my GPU with Afterburner, but it doesn't seem to do that on here. Is that normal? Also do I have to do anything to access the data to see if there were errors? Sorry if I sound dumb 😛

I use Afterburner for overclocking and setting fan profiles.
Most overclocking only happens when you start a Game or program that needs the extra horsepower.
Browsing the web , checking email, running office, watching movies/videos etc.... do not cause the video card to increase core clocks above Idle clock speeds.
OCCT will have a display in the upper left hand corner of the screen when stress testing. But only when stress testing. Make sure you put a check mark in the box for error checking.
It shows MIN/MAX FPS, Core clock speed Temperature and Errors.
Once the full test is complete it will create a folder called OCCT in your My Documents folder with all test results.

Odd, when I do it it doesn't really go above 1784 mhz core clock in overclocking (I have a 1050 ti), and when I run unigine, it says my core clock is going at around 2.1 mhz but on afterburner it says that the max it's been is around 1960, Edit to that right now on error checking it doesn't go above 1610. Is that fine?

From your original post I thought you had an ATI card.
To overclock Nvidia cards you need to adjust the power limit.
Set it to 112% or max allowable.`Then adjust the fan profile as aggressive as possible to keep it cool but with bearable fan noise.
The cooler you keep the card the higher it will boost.
My fan profile is a 45 degree angle. At 40c the fan runs 40%, 50c the fan runs 50%, 60 degrees 60% etc.....
I run a Asus 1070 Dual for Folding which pegs the card at 100% load. Some work units are better optimized and push the card more which results in a lower boost rate.
The new Boost2 ,along with drivers and bios settings vary the clock rate depending on power draw,temperature, and core utilization.
Keeping the card cooler will give you higher boost rates.
Mine will boost to 2012mhz, but as it warms up it will drop to an average of 1962 on most work units. And as low as 1927 on others.
You will just have to experiment and see what works best for your card, and case cooling( getting the hot air out of the case) is also very important.
The cooler you keep the card the higher it will boost.

I'll keep that in mind. Honestly 1633 mhz is pretty good for me I don't want to blow up my PSU or anything. Thanks for all your help!

Though odd thing still, if I play a game it goes to 1936 mhz but not on occt.

OCCT stresses it much more than any game, It is designed to stress the card as hard as possible.
If you check Afterburner right after you run it you will see it is hitting thermal/ utilization/ power limits. Which will make the card downclock. More of the chip is active during the test so you have more power draw, more heat and the chip is utilized to its maximum.
Almost no games keep the whole chip fully utilized, some parts work a lot less.
