Furmark 1.9.2

Hello all,

I was instructed via email by the PC Specialist staff.
''Please find below the link needed to run the graphics test on your PC.
If you head to the section shown Furmark 1.9.2 Download and click the download button with the black arrow.

This should give the download and you should then be able to run the programme.
If you run the burn in test for approx 20-30 mins this would be enough to test the card.''

but where do I get the results from so I can send them to PC Specialist? I stopped the test at 30 mins but I thought a notepad file with the results would've been produced (Obviously I've assumed wrong on the product didn't do this.)

I would really appreciate the help since I was told to send the results back. I want this issue dealt with since my computer is messed up only after less than a week.
Thanks.

fermark is a GPU torture tester , to really heat up your GPU to ridiculously high temperatures.
( like no temperature you would reach in games) - been a while since i used it , but i seem to remember it had two different modes.
( so try the other mode ?) - or maybe they meant by "results" To tell them the exact temps & whether or not the card artifacted or malfunctioned during the 30minute test ?.

To be honest im surprised they suggested furmark as it can heat up cards so badly that if there isn't adequate cooling in the case it can completely fry a card
(this is why some cards have driver limitations in them for furmark - think the GTX 590 had a driver limitation )

Yeah I have to agree with baron, im extremely surprised that PCS suggested using furmark, it can (not if used properly) have disasterous effects on your graphics cards. In fact its very easy to completely fry the card using it, as baron said, some manufacturers have started specifically dealing with this issue by hardware limiting from programs such as furmark.

If you want to test the graphics card then I would have said something like 3DMark is more appropriate.
