Furmark has long been used by tech reviewers, enthusiasts and testers. This month, the software updates to Version 2.2, an upgrade that brings along new features, including the ability to monitor hotspot temperatures on Nvidia graphics cards.
Earlier this year, FurMark received a significant update with the release of version 2.0. The update featured a completely redesigned user interface and several new features. Since its initial release, the software has undergone numerous updates and optimisations, including enhanced Linux compatibility and Vulkan rendering updates. Additionally, FurMark now supports older computers that do not support newer APIs, like OpenGL 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1.
