    Hi,

    I am planning on buying a used Clevo P775DM3 laptop, but the seller lives about 500 kms from me, I'd like to test it remotely before going there. The seller has provided me with remote access via Team Viewer.

    Can anyone suggest any good software that would allow me to test it remotely? (in particular the GPU)

    Normally I'd install a game and play a bit, or use MSI Kombustor, but since the graphics through Team Viewer are not that good, I'd prefer something that would allow me to save the screen output into a video file that I could send to myself (e.g. to my dropbox). OS is Windows 10.

    Cheers
    Jorge

    That would be hard but best would contact Celvo and they could give you more helpful hints what to test and look for.

    Hi @StormJumper
    Thanks or the idea, I ended up using UserBenchmark, NovaBench and finally Kombustor to stress test the GPU and CPU. :)


    Sorry for the late reply.

    Cheers
