Stability test GPU overnight?

Is there a way to stability test my GPU overnight without having to watch it? I want to go to bed soon and i do have my GPU overclocked and i ran some stability tests earlier and it seemed stable but i want to make sure it's 100% stable but I don't feel like sitting here for 12 hours watching my screen for artifacts. Is there some kind of software that can monitor for artifacts?

 

Also AIDA64 has a built in GPU stability test that doesn't render anything on screen but when i run it my mouse updates on screen at like 3FPS so it's pretty unusable.

I would just wait until tomorrow and then run Unigine Valley/Heaven a few times through.  You shouldn't need 24 hours of testing to see if a gpu overclock is stable (at least in my experience).

 

I don't know of any software that can monitor for artifacts.

I suppose you could run one of those overnight, it wouldn't hurt anything.

 

I've just never done that before.  But if you really want to make sure it's stable then play a demanding game for a few minutes/hours and if it doesn't crash/artifact then the overclock is stable.
