FurMark Review by
4.0/5

Just because you spend a fortune on a device doesn't guarantee it will meet all your expectations. This is particularly true when it comes to gadgets and hardware, as it’s hard to tell whether it’s exactly what you need until you use it for a while.

Amidst all the confusion, FurMark helps you figure out if your graphics card is worth the investment, making sure it lives up to its promises.

I was not particularly impressed with the interface, although it’s a standard GUI that I saw with many other benchmark tools. In the upper area, I can view what the tool detected as testable on my PC, whereas the lower area allowed me to select the parameters for the test.

The settings can be tailored to your preferences, as you can select the appropriate resolution, include anti-aliasing and specify the duration of the test, as to try to emulate the environment you’re typically using the PC.

The app also provides real-time monitoring of GPU temperature, fan speed, and frame rates, allowing you to keep a close eye on the hardware's health and performance during stress tests. Although the button is barely visible, you can compare the performance of your graphics card with others and track improvements over time.

Various users have raised concerns regarding overheating GPUs, potentially causing damage, particularly with unsafe overclocking settings, outdated hardware, or insufficient cooling. Some argue that FurMark's extreme stress levels don't reflect typical usage, potentially leading to unnecessary strain on components if used excessively.

If you use the program from time to time to check how your GPU marks, then it won’t cause significant wear. Just to be on the safe side, you should keep an eye on the temperature during the benchmark and terminate the test if it gets too high.
