Does FurMark run on Linux?

UPDATE: FurMark is now available under Linux: GpuTest – Cross-platform GPU stress test and OpenGL benchmark.

What is a FurMark benchmark?

FurMark is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that’s why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.

Is FurMark a good stability test?

FurMark will push your GPU harder and draw more power, making it a good way of testing to see if your graphics card is stable at stock settings.

Is FurMark a GPU stress test?

FurMark is a free utility which undertakes a graphics card stress test to determine performance and stability. The goal of FurMark is to help you put your video card under the most extreme circumstances possible so that you know your video card can handle demanding programs and the latest games.

How do I stress test my graphics card Linux?

Choose your stress-testing method in the GUI menu that appears, then click the “Run stress test” button to begin the stress testing. Click “Run benchmark” if you want to see detailed data on your GPU.

How do I check if my graphics card is working Linux?

On a GNOME desktop, open the “Settings” dialog, and then click “Details” in the sidebar. In the “About” panel, look for a “Graphics” entry. This tells you what kind of graphics card is in the computer, or, more specifically, the graphics card that’s currently in use.

Is FurMark bad for your GPU?

The main hazard of using FurMark is that it may overheat your GPU to the point where temperatures are high enough to cause damage. If you use FurMark repeatedly or run it for too long, it may cause a strain that can wear out your components.

How bad is FurMark?

The act of running it under controllable temps won’t harm a GPU, but you could overheat a GPU and cause harm. Newer cards and their drivers control the temps by down clocking if they get too hot, so it isn’t really a big concern, IMO. Overall, it’s an OK tool.

Why is FurMark so demanding?

Registered. Intentionally inefficient coding. if it’s inefficient, the software won’t be able to make good use of a gfx real power. i would say furmark utilizes more calculations and memory intensive routines.

How long is the FurMark GPU stress test?

You won’t need to run FurMark for long. If your graphics card is going to crash or start tossing out funky visual artifacts, it will do so within 15 to 30 minutes.

What do you need to know about Furmark?

Each entry includes the model of the graphics card with clock speeds, the TPC (Total Power Consumption) of the X58 testbed at idle and under full load, the max GPU temperature and the graphics driver version. FurMark is an OpenGL 2 benchmark.

Is there a Furmark test for OS X?

On OS X, only two tests are available: FurMark and GiMark. The test based on TessMark requires an OpenGL 4.0 and OSX 10.8 supports only OpenGL 3.2. But GiMark is an OpenGL 3.3 test, so why can we launch it on OSX? Actually OSX 10.8 supports a subset of OpenGL 3.3 features and geometry instancing is among these features.

What kind of graphics card does Furmark use?

FurMark is an OpenGL 2 benchmark. Almost all existing graphics cards can be benchmarked with FurMark: GeForce 6 / 7/ 8 / 9 / GTX200 / GTX400 / GTX500 / GTX600, Radeon X1900 / HD2000 / HD3000 / HD4000 / HD5000 / HD6000 / HD7000, Intel HD Graphics 2000 / 3000 / 4000.

Where can I Find my Furmark GPU score?

Custom preset: 1280×1024 fullscreen, 0X MSAA, 60 seconds, dynamic background, burn-in mode checked in the Settings box Settings: Preset:1080 (1920×1080 fullscreen, 0X MSAA, 60 seconds, dynamic background, burn-in test mode) Other scores can be found online in FurMark GPU Database section.
