Hi, 

 

I overclocked my gpu (r9 280) quite a fair bit but gta 5 did not like it at all, it artifacted if I put an even +50mhz oc on the core. Is gta 5 like know to not like r9 200 series overclocked gpus or is it just me?

 

Anyways, I did my stress testing on Valley, I'm going to download FurMark but I wanted to ask for any other programs that I'm forgetting. Which one would you pick?

Edit: I also have Heaven installed

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

Kombustor 

MSI Kombustor is a graphics card (GPU) stress test utility and OpenGL benchmark, co-developed by MSI and Geeks3D teams.

Pretty much furmark, repackaged...

Furmark, but it stresses the GPU to an unrealistic level.

- ASUS X99 Deluxe - i7 5820k - Nvidia GTX 1080ti SLi - 4x4GB EVGA SSC 2800mhz DDR4 - Samsung SM951 500 - 2x Samsung 850 EVO 512 -

- EK Supremacy EVO CPU Block - EK FC 1080 GPU Blocks - EK XRES 100 DDC - EK Coolstream XE 360 - EK Coolstream XE 240 -

I use Firestrike from 3DMark because there is a lot of compatible data out there. Heaven is decent as well.

 

Regardless, if GTA5 doesn't like the r9 XXX series, it is clearly unstable and I personally wouldn't run at that OC...

don't bother with FurMark and any other tool made based on it

the drivers will auto-downclock the GPU when FurMark is ran
