GPU Stability Test with Error Detection

Most stress tests only tell you how fast a GPU runs. This one also checks that the answers are right. It runs a fixed calculation again and again, reads samples back and compares them with a known-good result, so a card that is fast but producing wrong pixels shows up as errors instead of a good score.

About this tool

What the test checks

A deterministic shader produces output we can predict exactly. Sample tiles are read back and compared with the first pass and with a reference calculated on your CPU. A separate memory check writes bit patterns into video memory, waits, and verifies them. Every mismatch is counted with a timestamp.

What it cannot see

A web page cannot read temperature, clock speed or power, and WebGL cannot exercise tensor or ray-tracing hardware. The test only detects wrong results it can read back, and it does not say why they happened. If you get errors, repeat the run at stock settings and with other software before drawing conclusions.

How to read the results

  • 0 errors: PASS for this run. It does not prove the GPU is stable forever.
  • 1 or more errors: FAIL. The result is rated tier D and shown as Unstable, with advice to stop overclocking or heavy use until you have investigated.

The table also lists the number of passes (stacked load) and the highest load step reached.

Running it safely

Start at the default intensity. Torture stacks eight passes of the work, so it is much heavier. Keep the Stop button in view, close other heavy programs and avoid it on a laptop without airflow. The test stops itself if frames take longer than two seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Can this prove my GPU is faulty?

No. It reports errors it measured. A failed run is a strong reason to look further, but it can come from an overclock, a driver, or a hardware fault, and the test cannot tell which.

Is zero errors a guarantee?

No. It means no mismatches were seen in this run, in the data the browser let us read back.

Will it damage my GPU?

It is a normal graphics workload and the load is bounded, but any heavy load makes a PC hot. Stop it if the machine is hot or loud.

What if I get one error?

Treat it as a warning. Run it again at a lower intensity and restore any overclock to defaults. Repeated errors point to instability.
