Honestly I would use a number of things.. there's the normal stuff like the heaven or valley benchmarks.. but I find sometimes my overclock will run stable in heaven or valley for hours and crash 15 minutes into a certain game.  Use those to start, but after you think you found something stable load up whatever games you play and just play them for a bit.

my work in progress

The best test, I've found, is the most demanding game you own. Just run it and if it crashes after X amount of time, then it's not stable. 

 

Valley and Heaven, IMO aren't as demanding as some modern games like The Witcher 3. That game hammers GPUs pretty hard. ;)

 

But whatever you do, DO NOT run furmark. Don't even install it.

Heaven is decent. 

 

GPU OC's are usually much more obvious, in terms of stability or not, than CPU. 

 

For instance - when you're close to the threshold of core clock for a given amount of voltage you'll get pretty severe artifacting. When you've gone too far it won't even boot or it will crash in the benchmark.

using the division and crysis 3 i got 1514 on the core and 7600 on the memory with 1.212V is it good? Of course I still need more time to be sure its stable

GPU's don't really show instability through time stressing. 

 

They will either be stable or not - unless the temperatures are too high.
