Software for testing Graphics Card.

Just wondering if there is any software out there that tests only the Graphics and nothing else, if so could you point me in the right direction? :) The reason being to decide if my card is truely broken or not. :confused:
 
Basically when I run 3DMark or anything thats graphically intensive it locks up sooner or later, but with 3DMark its the same place everytime, well 8 times out of 10.
I mean it works fine in games, and 3DMark used to work, but ever since I tried to overclock the card itself, its never worked properly in 3DMark ever since.
And I am just wondering as at the time of this happening I was in the process of clocking my system, so I just want to be sure it is the card and nothing else.
I mean the cpu and ram run stable on all mem tests and orthos so I can't think what else it could be.
And I have tried everything at stock and it still does it, not many things I have not tried lol.

ATi tool? Scan for artifacts...heats the card up..can see if its temps that are locking it up

Just tried it, and it worked ok for the first 2 mins if that, about the same time 3DMark runs for, then my monitor shut off, then I tried it again and my system locked up.
Then again and I got VPU Recover afer 32 seconds, I dunno what it is I have done but its something lol.

sure you are running enough volts through the core? i know that when using certain programs they dont always include the volts in the profiles so if you are trying to run 3D profile clocks on a 2D profile voltage they obviously wont be enough to keep it going so the screen will cut out, as i have found with my card, also check temps make sure its not over heating
 
Well I was dabbling with the FSB a few moments ago, got it stable at 3.395Ghz, worked ok, then put my pc back on and the screen shuddered, now its in perma black and white, was that shudder the graphics card finally giving up lol?
I put it the cpu and so on back to its normal clocks and its still black and white, oh well.
You on about volts for the gpu or cpu? I have not touched the gpus voltages.
