![]() ![]() A quick google and you will see that this is an issue. But for a small percentage of people, Furmark has broken their card, including myself. If your cooling cannot keep up with this excessive heat and load applied to the GPU, or there was a bad solder job done at the factory, or any number of things related to power delivery, that is when Furmark has the potential to break or degrade your GPU.įor most people, Furmark doesn't do anything to their GPU. I understand why reviewers use it, to get a worst case scenario idea, but it is so far outside the real of realism, that it should not be considered. A pedal to the metal, push the car/GPU as hard as it can possibly go in a straight line, no turning, no stopping, just full on, all out go, go, GO! In a realistic scenario of GPU use, you would never, ever do this. Now, what furmark does is not like a game, or a Nascar race. You speed up, you slow down, you turn, you pit stop, things are going on that your car has to adapt to similar to your GPU when you game. When you are racing, your car is always adapting to the situation around you. Think of a Nascar Race, imagine the car as your GPU. When something demanding does happen, then the GPU will ramp up to meet that demand. It isn't going to use excessive amounts of power on a loading screen, or a cut scene, or something non-demanding. Depending on the action, or lack thereof that is going on in game, the GPU adapts to that scenario. ![]() When you are gaming, changes are going on in the game, your GPU is basically using "adaptive mode" similar to your CPU. This next piece if not just for you, but for everyone because I think this is the best analogy I have ever heard that describes what Furmark does. It is much more comparable to an in-game scenario rather than the pedal to the metal that Furmark is. Heaven is very demanding.Įxactly, Ultra everything on Heaven for 15-20min is an excellent stability and heat test. If you are just on air I´d go so far and say don´t crank up the resolution in Heaven a lot because it is likley that your GPU runs into thermal throttling. And completely not necessary when you have stability stress test like you pointed out with Heaven or Valley. Furmark is IMHO crap, you would need very good VRM and watercooling to stress test the GPU without risk. ![]()
