    How to Test Overclocking?

    Hi,
    I am little bit confused about how to check Overclocking for the graphic card device, because I have done changes to my existing graphic card but how would I come to know that changes made have really increase the performance of my graphic card.

    Thanks in Advance

    Re: How to Test Overclocking?

    Run Prime95 in torture mode (Options -> Torture Test) and leave it running for a few hours (or longer)...

    If you have a multiprocessor or HT-enabled system you'll have to run two instances of Prime95 for proper testing. Launch the second Prime95 instance with command-line parameter -A1.


    Don't worry if you get a screen like this - your hardware isn't damaged. Most probably your overclock is just too high.
    It's also possible that your system will just crash without Prime95 detecting the error.
    Another good test is the SiSoftware Sandra CPU Burn in test. But be aware that it wont be able to detect errors like Prime95 does.


    Run memtest86 or memtest86+ for several hours at least.
    It runs tests of memory reads, writes, copies, and moves in different patterns and block sizes and tests the whole memory range independently of the OS and HDD, PCI devices, etc.
