How can i test for memory error correction on my Pascal Gpu (1080ti)

so memory overclocking seems to be weird when it comes to certin pascal Gpu's, the error correction kicks in at certin frequencies. See here:

I though i solved my issue here but that wasn't the case:

so i have used heaven benchmark and have paid attention to the framerate when i'm adjusting the memory clock. But it gets weird because for example in one session +350 is better than +375 and in a another session +375 is better than 350. i just cant find the sweet spot. I've been jumping up and down from +260 to +400 trying to find the sweet spot but i just cant because one minute a cretin frequency is. the next another frequency is.


Are they any programs or benchmarks that can help tell me that error correction is happening or help me solve this issue or do i just have to leave it or keep trying because nvidia gpu boost 3.0 does what it wants, when it wants.

It doesn;t worth the effort really. There is no way your memory will bottleneck the chip and see real world difference. That's why you get confusing results. You will always get different results in the margin of error. If you want to push your gpu to it's limits just overclock the core. Memory will handle it even at stock. Rule no.1 in overclocking is stability. Go with a stable overclock and don't bother that much. I doubt there is a software to monitor error correction.
