Which games do you use as your personal benchmark suite when testing new GPU overclocks, RAM sub-timing stability, or thermal performance? My current top 5 stress-testing titles are: 1) Cyberpunk 2077 with Ray Tracing Overdrive mode enabled for maximum RT core load. 2) Black Myth: Wukong for testing UE5 Lumen lighting and Shader Compilation stability. 3) Shadow of the Tomb Raider for consistent CPU and RAM bottleneck testing in the Village benchmark scene. 4) Alan Wake 2 for mesh shader performance and VRAM pressure. 5) Red Dead Redemption 2 for high-resolution rasterization frame stability. Share your go-to benchmark titles and testing methodologies!

Cyberpunk with Overdrive ray tracing is still my benchmark ultimate stress test!
