What FurMark is

FurMark is a free Windows GPU stress test and graphics benchmark. It applies a sustained 3D workload to assess GPU thermals, cooling headroom, power limits, and overclock stability, with OpenGL and Vulkan rendering paths available where supported. Benchmark choices include 1080p, 1440p, and 4K presets as well as timed passes. FurMark also supports artifact-oriented checks: visual issues such as sparkling or corrupted textures may point to heat, memory strain, or unstable tuning. For sensor context, the site recommends pairing it with vendor tools or overlays, including GPU-Z and HWiNFO. Downloads are offered as an installer or a portable edition, which can run from a folder or USB stick without installation. FurMark is intended for overclockers, PC gamers and builders, reviewers and benchmarkers, and support technicians. The site advises supervising runs, monitoring temperatures, and stopping if thermals appear unsafe. It targets Windows desktops and laptops and is not a macOS or Linux tool. The listed free download is free for personal testing on Windows 10/11.
