Got this list of testing programs off google :

You can also try this program which seems quite good, just continously tests so would be a good stress test to see if the card is ok :

Could also try rthdribl, a very good way to stress a DX9 card :

Hope it helps

3D Mark 01, 03, 05 & 06 are all great benchmarking tools. Also a lot of games have there own testing demos, for like testing out your graphics card.

Games like F.E.AR, HL2 and so on.
