I use RivaTuner myself.
I lost an almost new R9 390X a while back going on a nostalgia trip with GTA3.Old games sometimes have a tendency to make powerful new GPUs rev up thousands of frames per second,you can even hear the card buzz,to prevent this using frame limiter software is A MUST.I couldn't figure out why my case was buzzing in time and in a few days the card started to artifact and then wouldn't boot up at all.

Very interesting observation. When I check the frame rate in the game, such as a close up view of a ship exploding, the frame rate gets into 300+ FPS. Do you consider that taxing on a video card? So far I have not heard any unusual noises from my chassis.
