What game to test stability

[red eye]

What is the most demanding game to test my gpu oc?
Newest games I have are crysis 3, dead space 3 and cod ghosts, or a good shooter/ software recommendation. I'm using heaven to bench but getting artifacts in crysis.

Sleeping Dogs - especially hard during the indoor bit of the benchmark. That's the bit that managed to get my 750W PSU to shut down at about 920W from the wall (was trying a little more voltage on my 290's, the PC declined!).

Metro games should bring up any problems

I guess you could also you 3D mark demo to stress test your system out?

what is your gpu? the one in your sig?

Diablo 3 (seriously). Maybe doesn't affect AMD cards, but you can get instability in NVIDIA Boost 2.0 which only manifests in 'weedy' games like D3.

Any game that keeps your GPU running well (Tomb Raider is good for that) should do. BF4 is another in MP.

And Bioshock Infinite are the games to test stability on AMD bar none, if it passes them-it's solid.

Yes, I remember Infinite giving my card quite a work out!

That's the unreal 3 engine, right?

BF3/BF4 is what I usually test. It's one of the few games threaded well enough to use all of your cores.

That's right xfire 290s.

I'm trying to diagnose a issue I'm having. I'm getting black screen with a 1050/1300 oc, initially I thought it was my 850w seasonic x not having enough wattage. I disconnected one gpu and heaven benched 1200/1300 and it crashed and screen started to flicker before shutdown and rebooting a few times them gave me 1000007e blue screen.

I think I have most of the games mentioned in my long list of games I have not played (steam sales and humble bundle impulse buys)

Crysis benchmark used to be my fav, used to find unstable clocks before all my other benchmarks did.

Takes quite a lot for me to crash d3, i tried that earlier on my cross fire.

Cheers I'll have go with the crysis bench if I can find it

Is BF4 particularly CPU intensive? My 5960X gets some pretty high temperatures even under water (high 50's to mid 60's).

Yes, it really does push AMD cards hard, one of the hardest tests on core/vrm stability due to the extreme load.

Very, especially with 64 man servers.

Though that is my experience with a 2550K, you have double the cores and quadruple the threads so you may have an easier time.

Doesn't Splinter cell blacklist use unreal 3?
