    [SOLVED] Does benchmarking and burn test damage the graphic card?

    I bought a gpu weeks ago, but it had a problem. So I sent it to the service center and they said that they are doing benchmarks, stress testing and burn test using furmark, 3d mark etc. for 2 days. Is it good or does it damage the gpu due to such stress testing?
