Hey guys,

What's the best, free, stress tester that will be able to give me some indication of whether a friend's graphics card is faulty or not?

Thanks in advance ;)

Edit: I think it's a Radeon 9600
 
If it's your friends why not pop into your machine to see if it's working?
The problem is that although (sometimes) it appears the card is faulty, it could be that there is an underlying problem. Swap out for known-working-unit is the best way if you can or as above.

I think it'll be one of those intermittent faults that never reveal themselves when your there! :p

If there's a test I can do or run from distance, I can save myself a trip and just call round with the new hardware. I got her to do a general stress test with occt (1hr) and that was fine.
