Stress test your video card with FurMark and GPU-Z
Video cards are kind of hardware that is created for sheer purpose of showing off. No other computer component gets more powerful at that unreasonable pace and manages to convince users it is still worth paying for. :)
While running latest game at unnecessarily high settings is fun enough, sometimes you need hard numbers to validate your purchase. FurMark is simple and fun video card benchmark, that also can (with help of GPU-Z) test system stability.

Parted Magic is another Linux-based bootable disc for hard drive partitions manipulation and related tasks.
