Test the performance of your PC's video card

It's an open-source program that can measure with great accuracy the performance of your graphics card, using different Fur rendering algorithms. This kind of rendering is designed to overheat our GPU and check its stability as a stress test tool, also known as a GPU burner.

Amongst the benchmarking functions available, there are quite a few options that allow us to select the kind of rendering to be used. Furthermore, it also offers us the following features:

• Check the functioning stability in high-performance situations.
• Monitor the GPU temperature and save it in a log file.
• Possibility to run each test mode on a full screen or in a window.
• Receive the information in time or frames.

Make sure your graphics card is working correctly and don't be afraid of putting it through any demanding process that you may want to run on your computer.
