What does [H] use when overclocking video cards and checking there stability?
I currently use a mix of RivaTuner(General OC and Temp Monitor) ATITool(Stability and Artifact Checking) and Nvidia's Performance Utils (Precise Overclocking).
What i mainly want to know is what you use for stability checks short of a game itself.


P.S.
Hope this is in the right section couldnt decide on Overclocking & Cooling or Video Cards Section.
 
I throw EVERYTHING at my video card overclock.

Loop 3dmark01se @ highest settings/resolution for 30 minutes
Loop 3dmark03 @ highest settings/resolution for 30 minutes
Loop 3dmark05 @ highest settings/resolution for 30 minutes
Loop 3dmark06 @ highest settings/resolution for 30 minutes
Loop 3dmark Vantage @ highest settings/resolution for 30 minutes

3D Mark might not seem extremely demanding, BUT there always seems to be a test in these that will cause a crash

Games:
Call of Duty 4
Crysis
Oblivion

Misc:
ATI Tool
Furmark

If it can run all of these things, I declare it 100% stable. Many will find this overkill, but because these use varying rendering methods, I feel this is a good way to do it.

Things like Crysis and Furmark produce the highest temperatures by far, but never seem to highlight stability problems, where other seemingly less-demanding programs often point them out quite well.

I forgot about running a few racing games as well.

GRID, and Need for Speed Most Wanted. Rendering the scenes "moving" at high speeds provides a unique situation as well.
 
I usually run ATiTool, Furmark, and the Crysis benchmark. If a computer can handle the crysis benchmark id certify it as stable. haha.
 
I use prime95 for the cpu and furmark + Crysis for the vid card to check for stability/temps.
