I've been lucky enough to purchase a Retrotink 4K (!) and an OSSC Pro but I'd like to check the 70 Hz output through both devices. I would also like to perform any other tests to see how accurate the scaler is able to pass and scale the signal. (ie. all other common resolutions, DOS video modes, etc)

Can anybody recommend any software or games?

I often use Jill Of The Jungle as a 70hz 320x200 (720x400) test. The shareware version is free (though I have the full version as well).

They both suck for that. You're better off with an old Extron.

Hmmm, what makes you say that?

That’s not true the ossc works perfectly for 70hz on a high refresh display. Provided the high refresh display supports 70hz for Dos resolutions (Dell displays usually do)

Problem with the 4k tinker is that it’s only hdmi 2.0 so no 70hz at 4k resolutions…
