FurMark 1.6.0

Filename: FurMark_v1.6.0.exe
MD5 Hash: 32BF82675EAB176B8F62AD172B85E4ED ...

Newer version available: FurMark 1.7.0


FurMark is a small OpenGL benchmark focused on fur rendering. The rendering algorithm is highly multipass (100 passes) and each pass (or layer) uses a GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) vertex / pixel shader to make the hairs finer and finer. To increase the fur realism, two dynamic lights are used for self shadowing. The benchmark offers several options allowing the user to tweak the rendering: fullscreen / windowed mode, MSAA selection, window size, duration. The benchmark also includes a GPU Burner mode (stability test).

This benchmark requires an OpenGL 2.0 compliant graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 5/6/7/8 (and higher), AMD/ATI Radeon 9600 (and higher) or a S3 Graphics Chrome 400 series with the latest graphics drivers.

The startup interface allows you to tweak the benchmark features such as:

  • Benchmark mode or stability test mode (for overclockers)
  • Fullscreen or windowed for each type of run mode
  • Window size selection (standard or custom)
  • MSAA samples selection
  • Benchmarking parameters: time based or frames based
  • Contest Mode

Revision History

1.6.0

  • New: added a GPU temperature monitoring graph in stability test mode.
  • New: added a checkbox to enable post-processing effect in stability test mode. Post-processing effect shader is loaded from the file post-processing-fx.xml. So if you know GLSL programming, you can customize this effect shader. See on Geeks3D.com for a complete tutorial.
  • New: added OpenGL 3.0 support. If OpenGL 3.0 is detected, the rendering is done via an OpenGL 3.0 context.
  • New: added new interface translations.
  • New: added start and end GPU temperatures logging in benchmark mode.
  • Change: little interface reorganization to better handle translations with long text blocks.

1.5.0

  • New: added GPU temperature log facility. If enabled, a log file (gpu-temperature.xml) is generated
    (in Stability Test mode only) to log degrees celcius and fahrenheit as well as elapsed time.
  • New: benchmark results can be logged in a file (FurMark-Scores.txt). This feature is useful in command line when starting multiple tests. See Run-Multiple-Tests.bat for an example. New: added a postprocessing pass in Stability Test mode to make the test more intensive.
  • New: in benchmarking mode, score is returned to Windows. Useful for command line scripts.
  • New: startup dialog box is available in several languages. If you want to translate FurMark, feel free
    to send the translated xml file (see gui-english.xml in FurMark folder for an example). Of course, your credits will be added on FurMark’s homepage). Current translations: english, french, chinese (traditional and simplified) and german.
  • New: added key F9 to make a screenshot (windowed or fullscreen but in Stability Mode only).
  • New: added checkbox for Xtreme Burning Mode.
  • Change: Xtreme Burning mode is more gpu-intensive…
  • Bugfix: improved OpenGL rendering context to support new ForceWare 180.xx series.
  • Bugfix: the QXSGA 2560×2048 resolution was not operational.
