right i just overclocked my Gpu, how do i know its stable?

[Kellyftw95]

i've overclocked my gpu, ive done alot of research and done it responsibly and carefully.

i've tested it on 3dmark 11 extream, there were no errors no crashes but people keep saying something about artifacts?? what do people mean to look out for artifacts?

the 3dmark 11 seemed to go fine, i;ve done every single test and theres no crashes. i also played witcher 3 on ultra and the temperature doesn't go over 65c

so, any other tips to test if the overclock is stable?

Bump up your Memory OC, that will get you artifacts in a hurry!

If it is running then it is stable!

If your computer doesn't crash, the overclock is stable-ish. Overclocks are by definition unstable. Run FurMark and watch it crash, lol. If it passes a FurMark burn-in test, it's rock-stable.

Right? These days enabling XMP, bumping your CPU voltage, upping the multiplier, and boosting your GPU are like... par for the course? Does it even count as an Overclock? More like optimization!

Furmark is a heat machine....don't use that crap.

Run FS Ultra graphics test 1 and 2 in a loop for an hour. If your overclock is unstable, that'll find it.

That said....nearly every application will put a different demand on the GPU. WIth a very high overclock may be fine for Game A, B and C, games E, F and G, will need less memory clock, and games H, I and J, are ok with higher memory clock, but require less core clock.

Best to just find a mid-level overclock to bump frame rates up a little bit and call it good.
