Ati tool vs furmark

[Bman123]

What do you guys feel about these two programs?
I have used ati tool for awhile so I decided to use furmark and see what happens.It sure does get the gpu hot and it also looks alot cooler then ati tool.

Does furmark make any noises like ati tool whenever you get an error?
I haven;t done it with the card overclocked since I have no clue if it gives out a warning from artifacting or not.

Let me know what you guys think about this subject.I want to use a good program and see what I can get out of my video card

ATI tool has been rather worthless for me finding artifacts since my Radeon 9800 Pro

It doesn't even heat up my GTX 260 until a long long time

Furmark heats it up very hot, very quickly, but also really isn't great at finding a stable OC IMO

Other programs will often artifact/crash even if Furmark runs stable for a long time

I usually play a wide array of games for extended periods to test stability, along with looping various versions of 3dmark @ very high settings
