I have a new card but want to test it to see if its ok.

I have played a few games but what is the best thing to test on to make sure its ok?

Benchmark?

If so which one?

THanks
 
Run a stability test which lasted 4000 secs. Seemed ok for furmark.

Does it end as it just seemed to carry on going.

Just about to run a bench with it.

Did run hot ay 91degrees though, ouch!

Furmark only uses 1 gpu on sli or crossfire from what i have heard so it maybe right when comparing it to a gtx280

Still for 1 gpu it looks pretty low don't have much experience of furmark.

Are there any other benchmarkers that I can use that would work with sli then?

I played GRID with all the shinys turned up, so I think the card is working ok.
I have increased the fan speed now and it heats up to about 71 on max, so that is a lot better than the 91 i was getting.
 
Can't remember details, but ran 3DMark 06 and I used to get about 19k, and 9.5k in Vantage. Those were at the default settings. Your card seems fine to me.
 
I run the crysis benchmark and got
