NVIDIA is so terrified of this happening that they deliberately downclock the VRAM super slow. But if you "overclock" it to it's actual rated speed, it's easy to tell whether it's spitting out errors: just run whatever benchmark and see if it's slower. If it's faster (it will be), it worked.
You can only do this on Blackwell but you MUST do it on Blackwell because Nvidia = human shit |
