Is there a stress tester out there to see if you're video card performs perfect?

Basically, i got a gtx 780 with a core i7 and 16gb ram, and I've been playing some games. I was surprised when playing bioshock infinite at max my framerate would dip a ton when looking at large weapon racks. This goes away when I drop dynamic shadows from ultra to very high. Also, theres a few areas of serious sam 3 where the framerate dips a little bit, usually in rooms with a ton of destruct able objects like columns and trees. While it makes sense that these areas are more intensive and i'm at max settings (1920x1080 btw) I'm still wondering if I shouldn't be seeing more performance out of my computer.

is there a stress test that could tell me if its actually preforming as well as should be expected?

3Dmark or heaven benchmark... and try to compare to others.

Try the 3DMark benchmark. Check out the benchmark thread on the forum and compare your results to others. You can also compare to similar rigs on the 3DMark website.

Check this Unigine website for a number of benchmarks.

FurMark is also good, and Nvidia have tech demos that you can check out your GPU performance with.

well, my card finished every test on kombuster at around an fps of 100 or more except the combined kmark x-test which was like 45 fps

I always use msi kombustor, i think it's what you're looking for

You don't have to do a burn in, just use standard 1920x 1080 test

I do think your problem is driver related or psu related and that your card is fine
