Good GPU error test?

So long story short, I've been stressing myself over my video card, im not sure if im getting gpu problems or not so I'd like to find a GPU tester to test for artifacts and mem errors those sorts of things. I have furmark and ati tray tools doesnt work for some reason (blue screens me), so is there any other programs that will check for errors on my video card?

 

occt memtest?

 

Furmark, it will tell you if it has errors and it stresses it really well.

 

Another vote for OCCT .. way better than furmark at testing clocks

 

I use OCCT for CPU and System test but for GPU I like Furmark.

 

Alright guys, so I figured it out, Its the CCC setting I had. The A.I. setting messes up alot of games and stuff, I forgot I had it turned on. Everything is fixed, war for cybertron is working, things aren't sluggish, so word to the wise out there, leave AI off!!!!

 

I have AI on, no errors anywhere.

 

GPU would be furmark.

 

Can you try transformers war for cybertron, was the game giving me the most grief. The textures never loaded in properly. I turned the devil known as A.I. off and bam, game works again, my gpu is 5870m, and im running 11.4. Also mi doing some game design in unity 3d, with AI on it crashes consistantly even when just changing one variable on an object, with it off I haven't come across any errors, Im just happy my GPU isn't fried, I ran it through furmark , and some games and temps are normal.

And can anyone confirm in the new 1.9 furmark there are a few holes in the model that when its rotating, or is that an error? when I get home ill screen cap a few pictures.

 

Furmark is slightly better for heat. OCCT is way better for artifact errors. 3DMark series is good for stability.

 

Ran furmark, and a few other progroms, and no artifacts, makes me happy to know that its just the games and not a messed up gpu.

 

Did you try OCCT? It will detect artifact errors that you can't always see because they happen so fast. It was almost a shock, I though my OC was stable under Furmark, but using OCCT caused me to turn down my mem clocks by quite a bit.

 

Ill try it when I get home, is OCCT compatable with 5870m ? I found that ATI Tray Tools doesn't work with newer card, but I will Download it and report back when I get home. Also , did you see a frame rate drop from lowering your clocks? Were they your base clocks, or still slightly above your base clocks? Im not checking for OC reason btw, just to see if my gpu is on its way out.

 

OCCT should work with any card. I'm still way above my base clocks, which are 650/800. If you're trying to tell if your GPU is bad at stock clocks, OCCT would be perfect. If you get any errors at all within 30min, at stock clocks, then something is definitely wrong, and it should give you grounds for a replacement/new motherboard/refund (assuming you're still under warranty).

 

I'll have to throw a vote OCCT's way here.

I had a GTX260M that couldn't play anything (well, to be honest, it could actually play a Farm Simulator demo that I downloaded from NVIDIA's site to check things out, but that game had all the graphical splendor of Battle Arena Toshinden...) Ran it through Furmark for a few hours, and it didn't give me any real artifacting. Maxed out at 85 on the temperature gauge. Didn't really think anything of the results either, since I didn't have any artifacting on the Desktop with Aero enabled.

Later, after a bit of research, I decided to stress-test it with OCCT and it immediately began spitting out obscene numbers of memory errors at me. Shortly thereafter, I tossed that ticking time bomb out of my laptop and installed a new GPU in its place

TL;DR version = OCCT

 

hmm, its not bringing up the name of my gpu should I be worried? I got the download from their site. it also wont let me do a gpu mem test, unless that options is meant to be blanked out. I just get this still red image of a spikey object?

 

Ahhh, it's a Direct X issue. OCCT hasn't been updated in quite a while, so it depends upon DX9 to do the GPU Mem Test. This issue is actually documented on the OCCT site's FAQ, as is the (apparent) solution:

Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Hopefully that'll settle things for you.

 

That's what you're looking for. It will still work for your purposes without Nvidia-only "GPU mem test". Just run the regular GPU test and enable error checking. It doesn't look like it's doing much, but it is. Run for about 30 min and see if it finds any errors.

 

haha alright so no errors, as long as its meant to havce a static image, then we are all good thanks everyones for all your helps, ease of mind is now mine.
