Good Stress test for checking GPU Memory Clock Stability

I am doing some over clocking on my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming Z. I have determined my max stable core clock. Now I have started going at the VRAM, Im not sure which stress tests really hit the VRAM to find instability. I am already testing with FurMark, 3DMark, and Superposition. Is there any other stress tests that I should be using to find VRAM instability?

Unigen Valley or Heaven at fullscreen with max AA works quite well I guess.

Furmark is a benchmark for power usage, not really for stress testing it literally burns GPU's. 3Dmark is good too.

 

For instability testing I often play a few demanding games at max settings, some games may find instabilities much faster than synthetic benchmarks will, use max settings and max AA to stress the VRAM the most.
