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. 🙂

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.
