By "vendor" I meant graphics card vendors, not cluster or HPC vendors. My interest in this sort of diagnostic arose in relation to an inexpensive graphics card bought at Newegg. I was asking here specifically because it seemed likely that HPC vendors _would_ have the sort of GPU diagnostic I was seeking, and might be willing to share it. (As opposed to the tool Joe referred to, which seems not to be generally available.)
