FurMark is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that's why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.

updates of FurMark: FurMark 1.9.1 (2011.06.30)and FurMark 1.8.5. Both versions of that heat generator are maintenance releases, read no new features but support of latest graphics cards or minor changes.

Since the branch 1.8.x of FurMark is still widely used and downloaded, I decided to update it (FurMark 1.8.2 has been released more than one year ago).

FurMark 1.9.1 changelog :
- Maintenance release.
- Update: added support of recent AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.
- Update: GPU-Z 0.5.4 and GPU Shark 0.5.1
- Change: added a workaround for a bug in AMD Catalyst GLSL compiler (GL2 for() loop –old bug now present in a beta version of Cat 11.2 and / or Cat 11.3). This bug led to a wrong lightning of the furry donut.

FurMark 1.8.5 changelog :
- Maintenance release.
- Improved score submission.
- Updated the number of window resolutions available.
- Change: updated with the latest version of ZoomGPU (support of recent NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards).
- Bugfix: spikes in temperature graphs are now filtered. See here for more information: FurMark and Spikes in Temperature Monitoring Graphs.
- Change: minimizing window is no longer possible in windowed benchmark mode.
- Removed the FurMark 1.7.0 mode.

System requirements : WinXP / Vista / Win7
