I found this thread on [H]ard|Forum where we can read this:

“That fur demo is known to get cards the hottest, it is also known for smoking cards as well (it was the last thing run for a number of people on the extremesystems forums).”

I knew FurMark was good for heating the graphics cards up but I didn’t know it’s also good to really kill them. I feel the summer will be hot for some graphics cards…

A new version of GPU-Z is out. That’s cool. W1zzard has added a new tab with some info (redundant at least for the two first) : gpu clock speed, temperature and fan speed. But I think there is a problem in the reading of the gpu temperature sensor. Here are the results with my 8800 GTX:

1 – GPU-Z: 52 °C

2 – GPU Caps Viewer: 58 °C

3 – RivaTuner: 58 °C

Ok let’s wait for the next version…

HWMonitor pour, vous l’aurez sans doute deviné, HardWare Monitor est un tout petit utilitaire (732k) dont le but, réchauffement climatique oblige, est d’afficher les différentes températures du PC: CPU, GPU, disques durs, chipset ainsi que les tenions d’alimentation.

Sur ma machine de test voilà ce que ça donne:

Température du CPU

Température du GPU

Température du disque dur

Température du chipset

HWMonitor ne nessécite pas d’installation, est simple d’utilisation et fonctionne bien. A avoir dans sa toolbox!

La homepage de ce petit tool se trouve ici: www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php.

I officially released the fur rendering benchmark 4 days ago. So let’s analyze a little bit the first feedbacks available on forums over the web.

Homepage: www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

1 – Fur rendering benchmark isn’t cpu dependent and this is a very good thing for a graphics card benchmark. No matter the cpu speed, the result for a given card stays equivalent:
- oZone3D.Net forums
- extremeoverclocking.com forums
- extremeoverclocking.com forums
”yes the first propper gpu bench ive come across, i really like this…. it stops all the arguments about memory timings and cpu speeds. its a good equaliser as all our systems can provide that 10% cpu info the gpu needs…”

2 – 8800GTX vs 2900XT
ATI 2900XT seems to beat NVIDIA 8800GTX. In all forums, the 2900XT is ahead:
- oZone3D.Net forums
- overclockers.co.uk forums
- extremeoverclocking.com forums

3 – this benchmark seems to nicely overload the graphics card and then is a cool GPU burner and stress/stability test utility.
- clubic.com forums : “Par contre j ai jamais vu ma carte graphique chauffer autant: environ 100° pendant la test:ouch:”
- oZone3D.Net forums: “This thing just succeeded to shut down twice the PSU, caused by overloading of the graphics board!!”

I done a little test with my 8800GTX:
- gpu core temp at rest: 58°C
- gpu core temp at load: 83°C

Okay, that’s all for that small benchmark. :winkhappy:
