Hello
I'm just getting started with overclocking again. I've done it before, but it was several years ago. When I'm pushing my GPU under stress on a new clock MSI afterburner, the monitor shows only half of the memory being used, and I can jump into a game where it usually uses up to six gigabytes depending on the title.
My concern is whether using just half the memory for the stress test still qualifies as a reliable test, so I can be confident my system will remain stable with those settings.
Some stress tests don't require much VRAM. Consider using OCCT instead. It outperformed my last "hardest" test, Folding @ Home.
