[SOLVED] Can I test a GPU without having to install drivers?

[Lucas G]

So I have a RX 6650 xt but I'm going to sell a card I got (Geforce Titan Black) so it's a bit of an older card and I wanted to put it in my pc to test it out to see if it has display. My worry is that 1. my pc can get damaged if the GPU is damaged or something and 2. NVIDIA drivers will install and mess with my AMD drivers.

How can I test this GPU?

1) If the GPU were broken it likely won't cause any issues to your system

2) You don't actually need to install drivers for it since Windows will have basic drivers that will allow the GPU to work at its most basic level. To benchmark it; however, would probably require official drivers to be installed.

You can test it to certain degree, like if works on basic level. For full testing you'll likely need full blown drivers because some GPU functions depend on drivers and most testing programs require them.
