I'm going to see a guy tommorow to buy a used R9 280x and I am going to test it out at his place, so I was wondering what software tests to do?

 

Also some other things to look out for?

CPU: i7 3770K | MB: EVGA Z77 FTW | RAM: HyperX Savage 2400Mhz 16GB | GPU: R9 280X Toxic | Cooler: Scythe Fuma | PSU: CoolerMaster B600

SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB - Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB

If it looks like it should (compare with an internet photo), and performs as it should without any artifact or similar, you are good to go.
