Free GPU stress tests?

I got a GTX 1070 Ti and wanna stress test it and overclock, but Furmark isn't realistic, Heaven and Valley benchmark cap at 60fps (no Vsync and disabled on Nvidia control panel, no idea what's capping) and Superposition is paid to stress test, so, what's left?

RAM: 2x16GB Netac DDR4 3200MT/s | GPU: Gainward RTX 3080 Phoenix (+212MHz / +1000MHz / -6% PL)

Storage: 2TB XPG S70 Blade, Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Samsung 850 Evo 250GB (caching the HD) | PSU: MSI MAG A750GL

Heaven and Valley are not capped.

 

Superposition is also free.

 

Superposition is the only actual option out of the three anyway.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

Mine are, for some reason. And Superposition is free for benchmarking, but paid for stress testing.

3dmark is the best with Timespy or Firestrike. They have a built in stress test that lets you just loop and load the card and soak it up.

You're not paying for stress testing. You're paying for automated looping.

 

There's nothing stopping you from just doing it yourself. That short rest period between each run would probably emulate a gaming load better anyway

Fair enough, will try that one as well.

 

Any ideas about the 60fps cap though?

Could be a setting in the program. Since you can tweak a few of them before you run the benchmark. Just use Extreme HD in Valley and whatever the equivalent is in Heaven.

 

Could also be a Nvidia control panel setting. You can add the program in the 3D settings menu and make sure that anything relating to v-sync isn't cutting in.

 

EDIT: If you're still stuck find the Valley/Superposition thread under the GPU subforum and ask there.
