MP 1,1-5,1 Will the Apple Hardware Test recognise faulty GPUs?

[Silly John Fatty]

I have multiple GPUs for my 5.1 Mac Pro sitting around.

I don't need any of them so I'm thinking of selling them. I know one had a problem, I think it didn't work at all anymore.

The other ones I'm not sure.

I don't have a monitor compatible with my Mac Pro, so the only way I run it is basically connecting it via Ethernet to my new Mac Mini (which is connected to an Apple Studio Display).

Now I was wondering if, with this setup, I could use the Apple Hardware Test on my Mac Pro to check wether the GPUs are okay or not okay.

Will the AHT give information about GPUs and their state? Will the test work if the Mac is connected to another Mac? (I believe the MP isn't using the GPU at all in this case. I'm wondering if I could completely take out the GPU and still run it from my Mac mini)

AHT/ASD is not a GPU test.

GPU defects are complex, both tests do basic Apple OEM sensor tests and are capable of detecting some GPU problems, but can't get VRAM defects, for example.

Okay, thanks for the info!
