Best free program to test for GPU undervolt stability?

[Spudgun]

Good evening, after 3 years of undervolting my 3080fe, I've had a few crashes this week playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The official forums might lead me to believe that this isn't that unusual, but I'd prefer to play it safe and to test the stability of my undervolt, but I don't know what the best bit of freely available software is for this these days, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful

The game is a crashy mess. I managed to solve it by doing the following. In documents Assassin’s creed Valhalla delete both cache folders. Delete texture cache. Limit frame rate to 75fps. I think the setting was world clutter change this to medium.

Is it only that one game that's crashing? I'd suggest trying some others.

Beyond that, Unigine Superposition, Valley and Heaven are free, getting a bit long in the tooth but probably still fine for stability testing.
3D mark as well, but not sure what the free version gets you these days (full version is around £7.50 on Steam though)
EZbench (also on steam)

Honestly though, it could very well just be the game. If you don't have anything else that's recent, there's plenty of free to play games out there that will give it a good run in!

Thanks for sharing that, that is the impression that I took from a range of other forums, this is the only game that I've had that has the crash to desktop, but I am not a regular gamer, so thought it best to check. Event viewer is pointing to Nvidia as the source of the crash ("The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.") so as I've had this card for many years now, i thought a bit of stability testing would be useful to see if a repaste or anything was needed or whether the undervolt was slightly less than what was required and something about valhalla tipped it over the edge.

Yeah, it is just this game, but I've not played much in the last 18 months as life is a little too hectic. I'll check out those free options and stick them on a loop for a bit to see if there are any issues detected and if anyone else has other options for free GPU stability testing please feel free to mention them

It sounds bonkers but trust me - the Quake RTX demo (free on Steam) was the ultimate stability test I found a few years ago when I went down the undervolting journey with my 3090FE.

Quite funny but back when I last undervolted my GPU it'd pass all the normal stuff like valley and heaven with no artifacts... easiest thing to test undervolted stability? Assassins Creed Brotherhood . That and GTA V. Those games just seem to bring out the worst in GPU stability I've found... a bit old now though.

OCCT has a GPU stability test, not sure how good it is though. I think Timespy can be quite temperamental too.

Games with heavy RT are usually the best, if you have none then probably Superposition
