What kind of stress test comes to your mind?
It had been noticeable when running an OpenGL program in that the program would freeze up for a second or two and then kept going as if nothing was wrong until it froze up again. I guess you could run a few games: The more it puts the GPU to work, the better, and there may be particular features of the graphics card that might trigger the problem while others don't. I don't know if there is a particular stress test available.
I never used it myself, but perhaps it's helpful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Benchmarking#GpuTest
After building gputest I run 'gputest_gui.py'. Here some tests don't run at all. However, at 1920x1080 'Julia FP32' runs nearly fluently, with a little bit of stutter, but 'Voloplosion' is completely stuttering, no flow at all and even the mouse cursor is sluggish. IOW a short 'freeze' (stuttering) not necessarily indicates a broken GPU. My GPU is probably just not powerful. $ hwinfo --memory|grep Size;hwinfo --cpu|grep Model|sort -u;hwinfo --gfxcard|grep Driver\ S;gputest_gui.py Memory Size: 7 GB + 512 MB Model: 6.60.3 "Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1840 @ 2.80GHz" Driver Status: i915 is active Geeks3D GpuTest - GPU monitoring Num GPU(s): 1 - GPU0: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
