Current overclock testing software for Ati

[Pyroblaze]

Just got a replacement for my old 4850 this afternoon and i'm about to start messing around with it, before i do too much though i'm curious if there's any new fangled software i should be using for testing the clocks.

Currently i've got the core sitting at 700Mhz and memory at 1070Mhz with Ati Tool artifact scanner having been going for about 10 minutes so far and so far so good. Normally i just use that and then play games for a few hours once i find a clock that ati tool doesn't artifact on, but is there something else i should be using for testing purposes these days? I'd like to try pushing this card as far as it can go on the stock cooler and no volt modding. temps aren't going above 72C atm so have some more headroom.

when overclocking my gpu, i used furmark to check the temps and i used the crysis benchmarkik tool with everything maxed to check for artifacts

I dont have Crysis nor do i intend to buy it at any point, FPS just ain't my thing.

i think you can run it just with the free demo, dl the demo and bench tool and you'll have a very effective real world gaming test for your oc

Furmark is a good stress tester.

Also GPUTool, which is basically a better version of ATITool.

atitool as a preliminary then some games are all I've ever needed. furmark and occt are cack tests.

Furmark is definitely flawed, but it does show up significantly unstable overclocks.
I clocked mine until furmark was fine, lowered it a bit, then proceeded to get unstable machine complaints from folding at home. So I'd suggest folding as a thorough stability test, though clearly this isn't what the software is intended for
