That should be enough- but if you really want a test it completely use your most visually demanding game.

ALL OF THEM! just go crazy and play em all, with artifacting you wont usually get a reboot, so thats ok, if you dont get arties after 1 hour testing, it shud be quite fine, so just game, and if u spot any after a few hours gaming, drop the oc down a notch :toast:

Anything that's not supposed to be there. Yes yellow dots are one, yellow shapes, odd shapes, weird lines, etc.

no....it does not have to be yellow. artifacts can be glitches, random geometric chapes, star burst textures, but pretty much what kwchang007 said
