Furmark scores ?

[stefanels]

I wonder if someone made a chart with Furmark scores in 1080p preset?

I don't think that people on this forum wan't to try that out. Not many at least....

 

[stefanels]

It's just a 60 sec benchmark, no big deal... just to compare score...

Just wait for the replies then.

It is among the most stressful benchmarks around with a higher probability of burning up your card than most.

That said, most cards literally have current limits set in bios now, so all you're doing is a throttlefest. Pointless honestly, but I don't see the harm.

OK, here's mine at 1080p everything stock (cpu and gpu)

GTX970SSC with custom BIOS.

Some guy over at Overclockers.com named @EarthDog says that

They have to throttle or possibly end up with a lot of unnecessary RMAs.

There was a time though. Like with the R9 295X2 in the review here running Furmark

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_295_X2/22.html

Bear in mind this card had two 8 Pins and with the power from the slot that was good for 375 watts.

exactly.. your card will drop boost bins running furmark. I wouldnt touch it with a 10' pole..its not testing clocks it would hold in game due to the throttling amd dropping of bins. I tested it myself...when i game i hold xxx clock. Running furmark STOCK, it holds the clocms several boost bins/dozens of mhz lower.

Find something else...

Don't use Furmark

Ok so this test its freaking scares peoples, so a 60 second benchmark can kill your GPU? I'm against Furmark testing to, but only when you stress your GPU for 10-20 minutes or above, in 60 second i think no harm is done to the GPU, because the max temp don't even reach close to the temps in Uningine benchmarks... Mine reached 67C and in Heaven i got 74C... Good luck

 

[P4-630]

It seems people rather run other benchmarks, unigine is good, just not this furmark one.

 

[alucasa]

I have no intention to run Furmark for even 10 seconds, sorry pal.

It's not about being scared it's about irrelevance. Modern GPUs throttle the clocks when Furmark is detected. So what's the point?

In Scottish parlance, it tests 'fuck all'. It's useless, it's not a benchmark that actually measures anything. Might as well create a thread about the weight of graphics cards using kitchen scales.

It's a shit stability test and can cause problems. Given both AMD and Nvidia have safeguards to reduce power draw, it makes the test utterly redundant.

It's not 'fear' that stops people using it, its common sense.

 

[Tomgang]

i havent seen desktop GPU die from Furmark, but i have seen laptop gpu burn off from furmark. So i can say that using furmark on a laptop can result in GPU failure.

Will the benchmark kill your card? Nope. Is this testing worthwhile? I say no on a couple of fronts...

1. This thread wasn't setup right. It will be a pile of results that is abhorrently inconvenient to navigate through and compare results. So, what's its point? To scan through pages and pages of results? Not my bag... perhaps others prefer this over an organized first thread which records scores and is good for comparing?
2. Its Furmark, nobody really gives a hoot about it in the first place.
3. Does the benchmark throttle out of the gate like the stress test does??? I'm curious, I don't know for sure. If it doesn't, then great, its valid... but see 1 and 2...

Ok... this thread can be CLOSED now... thanks

That app test was known for frying out the VRM's and if I remember correctly it was AMD cards that were mostly affected.....So from reading here it seems GPU vendors are now aware of Furmark and have safegaurded their cards from that app frying the VRM's ......so if your looking to fry a card maybe just a rename of Furmark to something GPU friendly will bring back the VRM death option.

 

[eidairaman1]

Yeah keep on using the furmark virus!

Doesn't seem like it, my results after the name change was identical.

 

[DRDNA]

Damn....looks like AMD got hip to the ole name change to GPU friendly apps......I remember we use to do this to get Crossfire working on games and benches that it wouldn't other wise or would make it run better bench results...looks like them days are over

 

[natr0n]

I should make a furmark dead/fried card list.
