Now do any of these produce typical scenarios or are they maxing the card at all times. Also is it better to run a program that is maxing the card at all times.

Valley is more game scenarios, Heaven is the same. Furmark stresses the card the most but can cause damage if you can't keep the card cool.

So I just bought a 970 SC ACX 2.0 and I need to see if my crashes are GPU caused or if I have problems somewhere else in my system. My crashing has been BF4 Black screen and game freezes. With my gtx 670 I used to get a lot of DirectX errors. Is there any software that is recommended for testing GPU stability. Also I haven't OC'd my card but the boost clock puts it up to 1405. My GPU never goes over 62C.

Heaven, Valley, Furmark are some of the most common.
