gfx benchmark tool req with a difference

Hi. I am looking for a gfx benchmark tool for a specific purpose.

For a project I wish to get an overall measure of gfx power. I don't want to run loads of benchmarks to see which engines run best etc. Only for get a representative score for various over clock tweaks of cpu, ram, gpu and gpu ram.

What I do need is for it to be repeatable (i.e return a repeatable score for the same settings), run relatively quickly and also get a representative peak temp from the card. It would also be great if it is affected by cpu and gpu interactions

card is 6970 on a 2500k between stock and 4.6ghz

This isn't really about the how good the card is. More experimental design to maximise gfx power, cpu power (I will be running cpu benchmarks) while minimizing noise, heat and power draw and proving all of this statistically

Cheers
 
The current 3D Mark would be my choice from the off the shelf benchmarks out there. Has separate tests for CPU and GPU plus a combined one and takes no time to run (firestrike demo).
 
Unigine Heaven 4 works the graphics card probably more than any other benchmark and is repeatable to within a few points. Tweaking ram or using CPUs with 4 and 6 cores with hyperthreading make very little difference. The main outside influence with Heaven 4 is CPU speed, if you are using multi GPU setups you need to get the CPU clockspeed up.
