Hi, are there any quick tests I can run to make sure a used GPU is in good condition?  I'm planning on buying a used one,and the seller is letting me test it before buying.  Also, do I usually bring the components (motherboard, power supply, monitor, etc.) to test the graphics card with, or do I use the seller's equipment?  Thank you.

I'd say GPU-z to confirm specs, then run 3DMark, Superposition and MSI Kompressor benchmarks

You can also fiddle a bit with Afterburner, or try to run CP2077 🙂
