FurMark Returns with Version 1.7.0 (http://www.techpowerup.com/98405/FurMark_Returns_with_Version_1.7.0.html)
Nearly four months after its previous version, the chaps at oZone3D have released Furmark 1.7.0. This release packs a host of nifty new features, and a number of bug fixes. For starters, FurMark is able to work along with GPU-Z to provide real-time readings on the graphics card's temperatures, voltages and VDDC current (for cards that support it). An experimental feature allows you to Twit your score onto your Twitter account. While the stability test or benchmark is running, the main GUI stays minimized, so you needn't have to start another instance to run several tests.

With multiple GPUs doing the rendering, each GPU is given its own temperature graph. You can start or stop the rendering by hitting the space key without having to close the window. A number of new resolutions have been added, and the application is now also available in Castilian, Bulgarian, Polish, Slovak, and Spanish, thanks to translations. Issues relating to temperature updates in the graph, and the application's multithreading management are resolved. Give your graphics cards a sunbath.

Yeah just make sure you unclick full screen mode before and everytime you run it. It might just be me but I have a 28" monitor and prefer it not to be full screen when it runs.

Does it run 3d clocks in the smaller is my question.

Yeah. You can set it to whatever screen size you like. Usually I set it to 1280x1024.

Good to know Nip, thx, you know how sometimes apps running in window'd mode don't use 3D clocks on the video card vs full screen 3d mode. (Noob info explaining :D )

just a heads up, if you want to stress Sli, you need to use AFR2 in the nV panel. Anything else will not pick up the second card.

EDIT: also useExtreme Torture with 8xAA for maximum burnage.

Well I don't know 100% on this so don't take my word to the bank just yet. I can't do any test as I am on the o HP now so if you find it doesn't please let us know.

Good lookin out reverend as I didn't know that!

I've used this tool for quite a while now, it's an essential tool for sure.

We even run the bench for shits and giggles, if you like...hit it with all you got and post it up!
