What to do if your system is unstable?Īs we have mentioned before, this AMD drivers tool is used to put the graphics card to the maximum of what it gives, but you must bear in mind that this will not be a real operating situation, not even in demanding games where although the GPU can be put to 100%, rarely will the memory also be put to the maximum. Remember that this test puts the graph to the maximum, and that it is not a situation of conventional use.
You do not have to do anything else, accessing this tool is as simple as opening the AMD Radeon software and running the test, so if you own an AMD graphic, now you have it easier than ever to be able to verify that it works properly and even to monitor its parameters. Thus, with this test, AMD is providing us with all the necessary tools to carry out the health checks that we have mentioned in the previous section. In addition to allowing you to run the stress test, here you will find metrics indicating some of the GPU’s operating parameters, such as clock speed, RAM speed, power consumption, fan speed, junction temperature (Junction Temperature ) and GPU temperature. You will see that the option to run a stress test now appears. Once done, you should go to the Performance tab at the top, and then select the “Tuning” option in the submenu that appears just below. Obviously, for this test to appear in your AMD drivers you must have a graphics card of the brand and also have installed the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition drivers in version 21.3.1 or higher. Now with this addition to AMD software we have the advantage of being able to do it directly from the brand’s own software and without having to resort to third-party tools, in some cases, for a fee.
If your PC makes some strange noise like coil whine, so you can check whether or not it actually comes from your graphics card.Īs you can see, there are many utilities that have a stress test on the graphics card, although it is true that all of them are intended to be able to make sure that it works properly.Check what maximum temperature the graph reaches, to see if it is time to change the thermal paste or subject it to a good cleaning of the heatsink.Check what is the maximum consumption of the graphics card.Check if the graphics has problems or is damaged, such as if there are artifacts or the computer gives you a BSOD when you stress the GPU to the maximum.
However, having a tool that allows us to stress the GPU as much as possible can also serve us for other purposes in addition to checking if an overclock is stable, such as the following:
