I'm trying to stress test my GPU and will turning off the monitor stop it from rendering my benchmarks? It is a Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT hooked up via HDMI.

Thanks, but what about Zero Core power? I read about it on the AMD website. I'm assuming you need to have power tune installed for it to do this, but without that software the card should render?
