Most GPU overclocking tools check for artifacts which are caused my memory. Perhapos that would suit your need, sir.
I tried coolbits and when I hit the "Detect optimal frequencies" that just locks my system solid, then reboots it.
I'm kinda thinking that my card has a bit of faulty memory in it as when the memory usage gets to ~200mb (of 256mb) I get crashes and some pretty choppy frame rates.
Also clocking the memory even a couple of Mhz will cause crashes, but maybe I've been unlucky and got a really bad clocker

I have PC doctor 4.2.52.1046, has a video test, and has a memory write/read test, I have one with 512 MB and it takes a bit,lol
2d/3d Video Test (PCDr2D3Dvideo)
In this test, PC-Doctor for Windows tests your system’s video capabilities, checking the 2-D and 3-D graphic functionality of the video card in the system. This involves testing the video memory, the graphics acceleration, and line/polygon drawing.
All of these tests contain a graphic element, which you can view on your screen during testing. You can cancel this test at any time by pressing the Escape (Esc) key. There are five 2-D/3-D video tests, which are as follows:
2-D tests
Line Draw Test - This test draws a picture of a color wheel that tests how accurately lines are drawn on-screen. The on-screen picture is then compared with the same version of the picture drawn off-screen. If the on-screen picture is "close" to how it displays in the off-screen picture, the test will log as PASSED.
Video Memory Test - This test fills the video memory and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) memory with test patterns, which are designed specifically by PC-Doctor to discover memory errors. The data is then transferred back to the system memory and checked to make sure that every pixel contains the correct data. If a pixel reports different data than what the pixel is suppose to contain, the video memory test will log as FAILED.
The current version is 5.0

for that price forget that.
use this:

free evaluation copy for 30 days, does a video memory test and uses ALL the video memory. i just ran the tester and tray tools memory monitor was loaded and it showed that all the gfx card ram was being used up. awsome testing utility.
