Question Is there a way to know if my GPU is damaged?

I have no FPS issues at all, I can play everything at stable 100+ FPS, but sometimes I have a feeling that there are some graphic bugs, like a black shape appearing for less than a second. Is there a way to reproduce this? To see if it's indeed my GPU or it's part of the game?
Thanks.

There is no sure fire way to test your GPU.
Best way may be to simply stress the GPU and see if any issues occur - you can use Furmark for this.
If you have a poor quality PSU, this can also cause GPU like problems when under stress (as can many other things in reality).
Thanks. My full rig is on my signature, do you think my PSU is a bad quality one?

Just had a look, the Pure Power 11 higher wattage is pretty good, so I wouldn't worry much there.

May be worth running the GPU stress test. Obviously I cannot see the issue you are facing, so if furmark has no issues at all, I'd be more inclined to believe your GPU is fine.

I can't see anything on Furmark. I ran it for about 5 minutes... so what could it be? Just in game bugs?
