Games with benchmark/mods for automated stress testing GPUs

[fenyasotetben]

Hi!

I have to stress test vga cards, whether the freezes or not. Suddenly, I don't have the possibility, to play the games, so I need new games, what can run automated. These games must be very hardware demanding (it's not problem, if the card can run it with very low fps).
I found some games with built-in benchmarks (batman arkham city, total war), but these runs only 1-2 minutes. I'm looking for games, what can run automatically at least 20-30 minutes, or much longer. It's good, if it automatically replays the benchmark, or with user mods, they run.
Now I use FF14 Heawensward benchmark, Stalker benchmark, Unigine Valley, Furmark, but they are not perfect, because I saw cards runing these perfectly for hours, but some games crushed quickly (what may be other problem, or the card's problem).
Please suggest me some games!

wow
chill out and take it a little slower.
first fill in your sys specs http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/account/specs
then give some more info about those freezes you see. doest it happen with every game or it is with only one game. do you get any error messegas. when screen freezes do you hear sound or it also freez.
what is version of your vga drivers.

It's not a certain card. I want to use it in my work, because I get gpu's (only the gpu's, not the whole configurations), and the users tells the problems. There's a lot of easy problems, like doesn't show anything, but some of them are like, freeze in some recent games. I have to try it, whether the gpu is faulty or the problem is something other (hardware incompatibility, software problem...) I can't play the games, so, I need to find an automated method for some new demanding dx11 games or benchmark to run and use the gpu's like, when somebody plays on it.

OCCT ( not a game ) will push a GPU or\and CPU to it's max usage, although use at your own risk. I use it very rarely normally on a new system or if having a issue with games running.

3DMark typically pushes a system to about what the system is more likely to use, which is another program i use for that purpose.

Thanks, i will try it out. I used 3dmark in the past, nowdays usually Unigine Valley, Heavensward, Furmark, although, a new game would be better, because
(1) usually, clients plays on these cards, so, a game is closest to another game, to find out, whether the card has any problem or not
(2) a client more easily accepts, that not his gpu is bad, if a game run on it than a special program, what he wouldn't use
(3) I tried a gpu, where U. Valley and Furmark ran with the most powerful settings for 5-6 hours perfectly, and after I tried a not too hardware-demanding dx9 game (on a good test config, with the bad gpu) and it crashed after 10 min.

metro game benchmarks you can set the number of repeats from 1 to 99 i think

I used to test my system in real world conditions by using UT2004 or UT3 with no-player mod, Excessive mod and just let the game to roll on its own, bots fighting with eachother and you just spectating the thing. Similar can be done using Flak arena mutator and mods that give you option to alter how flak canon shrapnel ricochet, giving them more than 1 bounce. This puts quite heavy stress on CPU since it has to calculate a lot of physics. The Excessive mod makes sure game is stressful graphics wise.

CS:GO works in a similar way. Setup a game with lots of bots, highest difficulty and graphics quality and it'll stress the system nicely in a real world kind of way. The synthetic torture tests seem to behave too artificial and they don't really reflect the real system stability. They are usually overdone. They are good if you want absolute unconditional reliability, but for most cases, gamers don't need that, they need highest clocks where system doesn't crash in real world usage. Which never involves CPU being utilized at 100% on all cores and threads cycling same data over and over. Same goes for GPU's.

use metro 2033 or LL, it will push your GPU, you can customize the heck out of it, and it'll run for a VERY long time.

the benchmarks are in the game directory.

Thanks, I'll try them out!
