Gpu Overclock Stability

So I have a GTX 980 and I applied an overclock and I was using Heaven to bench it. Well, in Heaven, my OC was stable. But while running GTA 5 my system became unstable and the game would crash. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can go about overclocking my card and programs should use to check it's stability?

You should check it for at least half an hour, if not more, with the bench mark.

You need to test for longer before you declare an OC stable, in addition an OC can be stable in one or several games or benches but not stable in others.

That seems to be my issue is the stability in program to program. I let the Heaven benchmark run for... An hour or so when I was running it about a week ago. I'll revisit it this weekend and see what type of results i get.

Run Firestrike Ultra, graphics test 1 and 2 looped for an hour.  If there's any instability in your overclock....it'll find it.  The Unigine benchmarks just aren't all that great for stress testing.....

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll do just that!
