I recently decided to try and overclock my GTX770 (Gigabyte Windforce) and after reading the numerous post/guides on here I have reached what I believe to be a stable overclock.

But I was wondering how long I should run the stress test, and what test should I do/use before I declare it to be 100% stable?

I am using EVGA Precision X as my oc utility and EVGA OC Scanner X as my stress test utility

You should stress test it for several hours to get a general idea. If you really want to see how well it's working, you can stress test it for even longer (~8 hours). Don't forget real world tests like gaming!

tbh i didn't stress test my gpu when i oc'ed it i just played games until it crashed i have a 7950 vapor-x and i eneded up with 1.22V 1300/1900 OC

just play games see if it crashes stress testing push's your card harder than gaming does afaik so ur card might crash in a stress test but it would be stable for gaming

Well I must be extremely lucky or its just not stable enough yet for gaming because my OC looks like the following so far


107% Power Target
80C Temperature Target
+135 mhz - GPU Offset
+350 mhz - Memory Offset
1200 Mv (stock)

80C is getting into the risky zone, be careful OCing any graphics card.
