Question Is occt safe for vram testing?

[mat1995]

Hello
I´m suspecting i saw a artifact once and i´m wondering if i could fully test my gpu artifacts
Is occt safe and reliable for this?
If not , what else i can test for artifacts?
Is it mainly a vram issue or could it be something else?
Thank you

Well that's a few different questions. Most software can test for vram errors as anything demanding will artifact. Any artifact looks like a missing texture that looks checkboard square, green flicker or purple flicker. Unigine heaven works from me at the extreme preset. It's pretty old these days, but the texture issues will be obvious. It's can be a vram issue or many other issues. If your uncertain, try to get it on video so we can it.....

Do you mean heaven unigine right?
I have this new card for 2 months ( rtx 3060 12gb) and i´ve never had a display crash or any kind of crash in any task given
I´ve played bo cold war and mw 2019 for 2 months (they both use much vram , like 11500mb) and always worked perfectly
" checkboard square, green flicker or purple flicker. " can aritfacts only manifest in this pattern? I remember seeing some white squares in elden ring(tbh they looked like the walking multiplayer ghosts , since i´m not sure)
There is also a glitch with this game in my computer , as it if launch the game on the monitor then transfer the screen to the tv , the game will sometimes black screen and comeback (like losing signal and redimensioning resolution) but this is not the gpu since it never happened in any other game while also doing this
I must start elden ring directly from the tv for it to run properly
I´ve also ran supersposition at 8k and no issues at all
Can artifacts also appear like once in 2 months then stop? I guess my system would crash and artifact constantly right?
Thanks
