Best way to test graphics card for faults ?

mrjack2207 · Aug 30, 2017

Hi All,

So recently sent back my 1070 due to a fault and as a result received a 1080 no extra charge due to limited stock. The 1080 was originally sold to another customer who complained of a fault with it and sent it back, however the supplier tested it and said it was perfectly fine and assumed the customer just didnt want it so they made up an excuse. I now have it and its running great, with a firestrike score of 18700 and succesful stress tests, any other ways I can ensure the card is all good ?

Play games? That's what it will be used for, correct? If so then games might be a good place to start, or benchmarks like you are already doing. You could run furmark or something I guess ,I personally don't feel the need to run furmark on any of my GPU's.

If it will pass the Fire Strike Stress test it's likely fine.

Just use it.

Im talking about some slight faults that I may not notice, where is a proper test will. My previous card ran great but still had a fault with it (causing hardware failure sometimes on boot)

I have never had or heard of a fault like that, so I would say its probably pretty rare. I don't know of any test that will test for hardware failure on boot besides restarting your computer over and over to see if it fails. Furmark is the most demanding GPU stress test I know of and that is just going to pound the GPU core and VRM as much as it can, I find it pointless and I doubt it would show some obscure error like you just mentioned even if there was one.

I think the previous card wasn't functioning properly with its drivers, once it was on it was great but it sometimes didnt register, was very strange, issue went after taking it out and switching to integrated
