Anyone use FurMark to stress-test GPUs?

[Munky1080]

It seems like a decent program, and it has a benchmark setting as well. I upped my GPU/DDR frequencies from 800/1170 to 837/1206 and so far there's no errors.

I scored 840 on the benchmark setting at 1280x1024 and 8x MSAA (max res my monitor will support.)

Hmm, just tested it on my work machine (spec in sig) with the same resolution/AA settings as you and I get a score of 758...and my card is 2-3 years older than yours! Maybe their test isn't stressful enough

i got 1422 - spec in sig

im sure thers already been 2 or 3 threads on this before

Is that test not OpenGL though?. If so, then Nvidia should perform better using this as they have done so for years with OpenGL. I'm not sure though. Just giving a plausible explanation for the small gap in the scores.

I got 1108 with a 2900xt@ 1440x900 with 8x msaa.

I use it although I cannot remember my score, Which is handy as my system came off the Arc.
Great little prog though for instant stress testing.

I tend to use it in conjuntion with ATi tools. Leave it running in window mode/stress testing and then have the 3d window open in ATi tools for errors.

Up my clocks until errors appear.

I find it a quicker way than just using Ati tools to find max overclocks as ati tools takes too long to heat up the card to max and what may look like stable and has run for 15 minutes with ATi tools can fall over in under 20 seconds with Furmark running.

Just ran it at work and I got 147 on my ATI x1300pro

So glad I have a 850/2300/2100 G92 8800 GTS at home

re-ran to get a screenie and got 1 point more

then, for the hell of it ran it at 1920 x 1200 @ 32 x MSAA and got a slight reduction

oops just realised im using version 1.0

Ill DL the new one

Helps if SLI is enabled as well

Are you guys checking the "contest mode" box? Don't know why mine is so low compared to yours...the funny thing is, the max temp my card gets running it is only about 60 degrees...
