How to Test NVIDIA/AMD Performance with OCCT


1. Download OCCT from this link:
OCCT 3.1.0

Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0 Runtimes

Enabling the Error Check will allow the program to log any errors found in the test




Test 2: Video Memory Test

OCCT GPU Memtest, based on Nvidia CUDA runs a Memtest-like test on your GPU Memory. It is aimed at detecting manufacturing errors on the GPU memory



In the GPU: MEMTEST section select the number of Passes, usually 5-7 will be sufficient for detecting errors
