Are artifact / error scanner reliable ? GPU OC

[hix123]

Hey people,

So i've been struggling a little lately with gpu overclocking, basically i've been trying multiple stress tester / benchmark and i'm been doing lots of research but I did not find anything really.

I've been using furmark / occt and MSI Kombustor to see if my oc was stable but oddly when I check the error check / artifact scanner at a certain clock point it start counting some artifact from time to time, is this totally reliable or should I test it while looking at the screen myself if I see any ? Because when I do +100 mhz to the core clock in game it seems fine , there is no artifacts nor any crashed but in kombustor or occt there is errors / artifacts that has been scanned,

So the question is, do I base my stability over gaming and raw artifacts that i can legit SEE myself while testing, or worry if there is artifact / error scanned. 

Thanks !

GPU-OC doesnt work the same ways as CPU OC, there are tons of different "shades" of GPU-Loads. you can only "stresstest" by real world applications for stability. Everything else is a waste of time and torture to your hardware.
