Small demo or something I can download to stress video card?

I'm having some artifact problems when playing Crysis, the video card is not overheating (79C under load is normal for an HD 4850 right?), I need to find out if the problem is the game (hopefully) or the video card. The only other recent games I have are GRID and GoW and I don't think those stress the vid card enough.

Anyone know of a game demo or some program that will let me stress the GPU so I can see if it's faulty or not? I have a slow connection so the lighter the file the better.
 
Just to elaborate... ATI Tool tries to check for problems and alert you, whereas FurMark simply generates enormous load until you either crash or stop it.
 
I ran Furmark in Stability test with Xtreme burning mode for 20 minutes without problems, I guess it's not a hardware problem.

And ATI tool doesn't seem to like Vista 64.

FurMark is great.

If ATI Tool doesn't work, try ATI Tray Tools. Pretty much the same thing. I am running it under Vista 64 so it ought to work for you as well.
