The new ATi tool

It has some issues,since it's version 0.0.0, but the artifact scanner works beautiful. I just tested myself. You ca use it full screen and change the clocks while it scans. It's going to be THE tool for videocards overclocking.

The fan controls are broken and so is the voltage slider. I set my voltage to 1.28 V on my card and it gave me an 1.1 V. These aren't really important, because all I care about is the artifact scanner, which seems to be working like a dream. It spotted artifacts with my GDDR5 at 975 mhz in just a couple of seconds, where Furmark would work for an hour at the frequency, without showing me anything.

I was going to post this but looks like you beat me to it. Overall it's a pretty sweet utility and if it gets developed as quick as GPU-Z did then this will be mostly bug free in no time. I have ran into a memory overclocking bug which I reported on the TPU forums but it is indeed shaping up to be a killer utility- just not yet for me, I'll stick with Rivatuner.

Update: The problem I had with flickering when the memory is overclocked is fixed by setting all 3dstates to the same value. So it's all working well now- good stuff.

Well this thing demolished my overclock. Now I'm really starting to think if the artifact scanner is reliable. I'm getting errors at 800/900, even with a slight voltage bump. Nothing else gives me issues at these clocks. Maybe this program still needs some time to bake.

Oh, so you mean it's just like ATITool has been for the past couple years

You'd be surprised how far a gpu can be pushed in games when in reality it isn't "stable" by any measure you'd apply to a cpu.
