i've been offered by my friend that used 9800gt msi 512mb ddr3 (still 4 months warranty) with 50 usd.

i'm quite interested, and i want to test it.

so what program should i used and how?

i just know furmark. so plz suggest me nice tool to test the card is in good condition and how to and how long to test it?

also, i'm not sure my PSU will hold this 9800gt or not? so how much power does it need?

thanks.

thanks for the link

how long should i run.
also should i choose normal mode or extreme mode?

 

[mcnumpty23]

you can run it as long as you want--until you are happy the card is ok--try it in normal mode 1st then see if it can hack extreme

thanks to all

so how about furmark?

 

[mcnumpty23]

you can use furmark--though it will stress it beyond any real life use--no games will run it that hard
