How to test if GPU is defective

[Sensei P]

What the title says... I can give more details if y'all want, I have an EVGA GTX 1050 TI SC

What are your symptoms?
Try using the intigrated graphics if your CPU has them and also try another monitor or TV
Specs?

There are several ways. You can run RAM test to check your memory, for instance.

Well, I'm seeing some flickering in games for clouds(in one game), like on a specific map, on PuBG, some shadows look kinda weird, and yesterday I had a white screen with a weird buzzing noise in one of my games. I ran FurMark and EVGA OC Scanner, no artifacts popped up.

It's only in specfic games too as I noted, like one map in BF1, and shadows in PuBG, and that's pretty much it, the white screen was also in BF1

Could be a driver or game related issue.

Start to test you memory with memcheck[developer.nvidia.com].

both of these games are notorious for having bugs and stuff, on games like Overwatch and TF2 - I don't have any funny looking textures

It will be more helpful if you made a video recording by your phone, and ingame recording by software such as shadowplay, this way we can cut down the list, there is a reason why I recommend to do two types of recording, to see if this is hardware, or software issue.

One, or more will be your issue.

1. This could be related to game issue, which you want to ask people if they ever get the same issue as you.

2. This could be related to the drivers being the issue, which you use DDU in safemode, wipe your video drivers, then reinstall the latest, or older version of the drivers you know that works well for you.

3. This could be an RAM issue, a simple memcheck test can't hurt to do.

4. This could be related to your cables being the issues, which you can test by using different cables, or using spare cables.

5. This could be related to your Monitor being the issue, which you can test by using a different Monitor, or TV.

6. This could be related to your GPU being the issue, and it's only of matter of time when it will kick the bucket, which could be one, or more of the capacitors going bad on it. Could also test the GPU in a spare PC to check for this issue.

7. This could be related to the PSU cables being the issue, or being a faulty unit, which you can test by using a spare PSU.
