FurMark GPU Benchmark Overview
FurMark is a graphics-card stress test and benchmark for Windows from Geeks3D, known for pushing a GPU to its absolute limit with its distinctive fur-rendering workload. It is used to test graphics-card stability, verify that cooling can handle maximum load, and check for artifacts or throttling, and it reports temperatures and frame rates during the run. Because it generates an extreme, sustained load (sometimes called a 'power virus'), it is run deliberately for short stability and thermal tests rather than as a normal benchmark of real-world performance. It includes preset benchmark modes for comparison. It also bundles small GPU information and monitoring tools, and its scores can be submitted to an online database to compare against similar cards. The official FurMark GPU Benchmark download is linked on this page, straight from Geeks3d.
