Does anyone know of a general purpose vidio card tester similar to a memory test program? One of our computers is giving us some strange displays, randomly. I've checked everything else and I think it may be the memory on the vidio card. How can I test it??
Thanks.

The best way to test it is to go to a friend's computer and try it out there. But first, I would go to ATI or nVidia's homepage and download their newest drivers. What video card (brand, memory brand, and VPU Manufacturer) do you have?

Hope that helps,

The card is an NVIDA RIVA TNT2 Mod64. After some more testing, I think that this is a software problem. It's time to rebuild this system for some other reasons, so I'm going to do that first and then see what happens. I will try the card on another system as well before I reinstall it.
Thanks for the thoughts.

I just had a M64 go south (yes, bad ram), so it's very possible. The card is a good value for what it is, but it's not exactly quality construction.
