Hey everyone,
I've been facing some challenges with GPU overclocking lately. Despite running multiple stress tests and checking benchmarks, I haven't found a clear solution. I've been using Furmark, OCCT, and MSI Kombustor to verify my overclock stability, but sometimes when I check the error scanner or artifact analyzer at specific clock speeds, it starts detecting artifacts intermittently. This raises doubts about its reliability. Should I rely on seeing artifacts myself during gameplay, or should I trust the scans? Also, when I increase the core clock by 100 MHz in games, everything seems fine—no crashes or errors, but the scans still show issues. So, should I base my stability assessment on what I can actually observe while testing, or worry about potential artifacts that might not be visible? Thanks!

in the combustor error you'll see a very small dot
in games it appears occasionally like this:

artifacts refer to computing errors, which represent additional tasks for the GPU.

Thank you for your message, but it clearly doesn't address the issue.
