Second Hand Graphics Card Test

So I am getting an R9 280X this week and I wanna make sure that it's fully stable, but I have never used a benchmark test other than games, what synthetic benchmark do you recommend to use to stress test the GPU to make sure it is stable?

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Unigine Valley, FurMark, and play some games.

 

That's what I did when I got my GTX 660 Ti from @tiny voices, and it works swimmingly.

First of all make sure the card wasn't used for mining. If it was, simply don't buy it.

That was my dad's mistake when he bought my first gpu, the 7950.He got it at a good price but he didn't know it was used for mining and I have been getting crashes everyday.I have found some that were used for mining but I am not falling for that again
