FurMark Returns with Version 1.7.0
Nearly four months after its previous version, the chaps at oZone3D have released Furmark 1.7.0. This release packs a host of nifty new features, and a number of bug fixes. For starters, FurMark is able to work along with GPU-Z to provide real-time readings on the graphics card's temperatures, voltages and VDDC current (for cards that support it). An experimental feature allows you to Twit your score onto your Twitter account. While the stability test or benchmark is running, the main GUI stays minimized, so you needn't have to start another instance to run several tests.
With multiple GPUs doing the rendering, each GPU is given its own temperature graph. You can start or stop the rendering by hitting the space key without having to close the window. A number of new resolutions have been added, and the application is now also available in Castilian, Bulgarian, Polish, Slovak, and Spanish, thanks to translations. Issues relating to temperature updates in the graph, and the application's multithreading management are resolved. Give your graphics cards a sunbath. ![]() DOWNLOAD: FurMark 1.7.0 Source: Geeks3D Last edited by W1zzard; Jul 3, 2009 at 01:38 PM. |

it's mostly GPU that it's utilising, so I don't think the CPU is being stressed..

It's mostly single-threaded even today.

Sweet, now I can destroy more than one card at once!
I don't like programs that overstress hardware. Too bad they can't tone it down a bit.

The ultimate tortue test. Furmark running at max settings, LinX 20 passes and memtest at the same time!

I don't think that the power draw is right. 66watts full load for a gtx260?

Curiously, btarunr's shot displays:

Here's a shot of a HD4890 getting busy: ![]() The reported wattage figure for this card is even less relevant as these things have a secondary core power circuitry whose output is not included in this figure. And ofcourse memory on top of that.

Then why do we need one 6 pin and one 8 pin of some graphic cards? Pci-e slot= 75watts. 6 pin=75 watts, and 8 pin= 150watts. In total, the max is 300 watts for a graphic card. But none of these cards actually reach that high.

Also keep in mind that quite a bit of that converted wattage going through the VRM's is waisted as heat

Volterra chips are around 90-95% efficient. Seems like they're more efficient than other more conventional VRMs, which is evident from the increased power consumption of GTX295 when it went from 2 PCBs to 1 PCB which no longer uses Volterra VRMs.

Uhm, no. The PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot provides 75W. Not a Watt more.
