Need Help Testing an NVIDIA Tesla C2075

[v-raze]

Okay, so I recently got myself a lovely NVIDIA Tesla C2075 at an excellent price. The seller was unsure of the operational condition of the card as it had been in storage for some time. I've swapped it into my gaming rig to test it and verify it's working properly. From what I can tell, it's fine- after loading up the driver it's doing a perfect job displaying the OS. But I want to test it to verify it's working, and all the benchmarks I have are for gaming cards. Being a compute card, the C2075 will not work with Unigine Heaven or Cinebench R15, for example.

 

I need to put this baby under load to make sure there aren't any issues before the card goes into real-world use, and I don't have access to any real-world compute workloads, so how can I go about testing this? Are there any GPU stress tests that would work with a compute card? Just need to verify basic functionality, so a compute-specific test isn't necessary, just one that would actually run on it. Could I just play some 3D games with it? All I need to know is if it artifacts or overheats.

MSI Kombuster might work.

I'm inclined to think it wouldn't, as Afterburner doesn't even recognize the card with the driver installed. But worth a shot I suppose

Ah, I don't know then. AIDA64 might work.

Use the compute software you would use with it

Going to go with Furmark next, but I'll try that if it doesn't work

No beans with Furmark, downloading AIDA64.

Alright, I was able to run the system under the GPGPU benchmark in the trial version of AIDA64 Extreme. I did notice some green lines to the one side of the screen, but they did not appear to be ordinary artifacts- they remained until the test ended and I was able to move my mouse over them. I will try again with a different GPU to see if the same lines appear. I may just put this down to the Tesla's poor performance as a 3D GPU, considering that it's not designed to do that kind of thing whatsoever.

Here's the results from the AIDA64 run. I'll do a video stress test in Half Life 2 Lost Coast too, just for shits and giggles.

This 800x600 benchmark is a full 10 fps lower than my ATI HD 4200 integrated graphics. At 1600x900, fullscreen.
