FurMark is one of the most frequently employed stress-testing tools for graphics cards. This application, based on the OpenGL platform, utilizes sophisticated fur rendering algorithms to exert pressure on and evaluate the graphics card’s performance. By subjecting both the GPU and VRMs (voltage regulator modules) of the graphics hardware to a demanding power draw, FurMark effectively tests their capabilities.
An Overview of FurMark
Developed by Geeks3D, FurMark is an OpenGL benchmark tool freely available for Windows users. Besides its primary function as a benchmarking tool, FurMark incorporates an integrated stress test that enables users to assess the stability of their graphics card. The purpose of Furmark’s rendering mechanism is to intentionally induce GPU overheating, thus making it a widely recognized tool for evaluating the stability and endurance of graphics cards, often referred to as a “GPU burner.”
