Is there a way to tell if a GPU is in working condition without plugging it in to a computer? As in, going to a Craigslist meet up, and checking if the GPU is even operational, or there pulling a fast one on you. Specifically a GTX 1080 8gb Asus strix gaming, thanks for any help in advanced!

The short or long answer?
Of course, you need to plug it into a power supply. Look for flaws on the stickers or any kind of damage, erosion on the metal contacts before connecting the card to a computer. Like a RAM or an SSD, you can't look t it and say "It works flawlessly!".
Better not give a blind shot and test it somewhere. Run software to see if it matches the standard specification (factory). If not, it's not 100% healthy
