Ocing My Card

[Hirad123]

Hey forum, i wanna OC my 660 twin frozr card that's already pre overclocked a little further and i was wondering how long should i run the stability test looking fro artifacts, i can't exactly stare at the screen for 24 hours looking for one :P

You don't have to spend 24 hours on each  test, You will see artifacts instantly most of the time, if not then give it a few minutes or the card to get hot.

30 minutes should be enough

The way I do it is I run one pass of the test think 3-5mins a pass if didnt see any artifacts I bump it till I start to see it unstable

But once I get to OverClock I am happy with ill do at least 5 passes so maybe 30mins

I am not really just staring at my screen to see if I see anything tho :p just looking at it from here and there to see if temps and no artifacts

15-30 minutes with furmark should be enough to notice any artifacts as well as see how your temperature will be in the most extreme case. Running their 15 minutes benchmark should suffice.

You could just plays games in order to test whether the gpu is creating artefacts. Or run Heaven Benchmark for 30 minutes.

I usually see artifacts in about 30 seconds or less.
