Program like memtest for video RAM???

[koretex]

So I've got a buddy with a video card issue and we are trying to figure out what is causing his issues. He is getting artifacting and weird blocks and what not in game only.

I am heading over there after work and would like to be able to run a program that would tell us exactly whats going on.

This is on an AGP 6600GT btw...

That was the only thing I knew of off the top of my head. I used it and even thought the card is running 100c in windows and 130c in games and screwing up so bad games are not even playable, the ATI tool artifact test runs just fine with no problems for hours

So anything besides that?

Do you need to know anything besides that your card is drastically overheating?

Run a game with extremely large texture sizes, and with AA enabled, especially a game from the same era as the video card. Otherwise there is just things like 3d mark, but nothing that will really generate specific error codes like memtest will.

Yeah that seem too frickin' high. Big dust build up in the video card heatsink me thinks...

Google has hits for "video memory tester".

Here's something I found on Softpedia.
