test it with ati tool
I tested using 3dmark06, playing cod4, nfs carbon, cs s, tf2 etc.

from my experience, ATI tool is the worst thing to test anything.

Playing nfs carbon at highest settings is the best way to test stability and artifacting because:


- The game forces your GPU at 99% even at main menu, and at all times during the game.
- Because of that, your card is constantly stressed not just visually, but by inputs as well
- Artifacting is real time and is easily noticable during memory access.
- The game is super sensitive and crashes even on default system clocks and nothing running in the background so if you can achieve 4 races without crashing, you're stable! lol
