Absolutely. Run the artifact checker. If it runs for 30 minutes you got a stable oc. Why run it? A lot of people can run 3DMark at ridiculous settings. There is only one reason for 3DMark: Video Games. Any other reason is admitting that you are wasting time and life in general. 3DMark is used to measure the "gamability" of your computer. This new wow, I got XXX in 3DMark and my machine pwns is well, kind of silly? Kind of like buying condoms to watch a porno or something. I try to get more out of my machines for GAMES because even though I suck at them I like to play GAMES.
I apologize for being downright ritualistically dogmatic about this but 3Dmark is a TOOL to tune your video card for GAMES. If it friggin' artifacts on me and crashes me mid game it does me no good. I am a bad enough player respawning all over the map enough as it is. Adding artifacting and crashing to my games makes me that much more frustrated...
For me being able to run my games for 2-3 hours straight with no hiccups is very important. So for me a score should be prefaced with is it stable?
I know I can score really high in 3DMark if you discount day to day stability. That is why you check it with ATITool.
