Benchmark/Stress Test for GPU clock stability evaluation in gaming situations
Hey community!
I've been using Firestrike to test GPU OC profiles and noticed that while many of these profiles are stable during testing and yield a much higher Firestrike score than no OC, they are often unstable while gaming. Is there a better tool besides Firestrike to test whether or not an OC profile will be stable in
most
games? I know some games are picky but just looking for one test I can use that will pretty much prove stability in many gaming scenarios.
Execute Prime95 version 26.6 with blending during Firestrike execution. This should achieve the desired result.
Haha, really? I haven't considered that... I'll try it after work and let you know!
Prime95 doesn't require your GPU at all, though...
Consider running additional graphics card stress tests or benchmarks. Options include 3DMark Timespy and Unigine benchmarks like Valley.
Well yeah haha that is my plan... was wondering if anyone had some insight on a particular test they know to demonstrate gaming stability better than the others.
Since gaming demands more than just GPU power, OP mentioned he aimed to evaluate "gaming scenarios." Running a GPU-only test (using Heaven) and P95 Blend—which puts pressure on CPU and RAM—appears logical. If your OC can handle 20-30 minutes of that, then a real gaming workload should be manageable.
