    Hey guys,

    So ATI tool is often used to test stability of video cards that are overclocked or undervolted. But, will this type of test also show that CUDA (Nvidia) processes will be computed without error?
    I know one could start up Seti@home's GPU app and compute some work units, then look on your account to see if the server found that it had a computational error or not.
    Are there any local programs that specifically test CUDA endurance and accuracy, or is ATI Tool good enough? I suppose it test different parts of the video card, different instructions being executed.

    OCCT. It's GPU test is better than AT's and it has a CUDA specific memory test. If you can pass an hour of both, it's not going to spit out errors.

    Edit: I just realized they updated to 4.0. You need version 3.3 for the CUDA test.
