early 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. * New: FurMark is now able to get detailed data from GPU-Z (if GPU-Z is running). In both Stability Test mode, GPU-Z is used to display additional information (GPU core clock, memory clock, GPU temperature and power consumption). In Benchmarking mode, GPU-Z is used to retrieve GPU core clock, memory clock, VDDC and VDDC current. Some data (like VDDC and VDDC current) is only available on some graphics cards (like the GeForce GTX 280). * New: In Benchmarking mode, you can now send your score to your Twitter account (this gadget is experimental). * New: the main GUI is now always available so you can fire up several tests without the need to start again the application. * New: main GUI (graphical user interface) settings are now saved and are re-used. Thanks to W1zzard for the idea * New: in Stability Test mode, each GPU has now its own temperature graph. * New: in Stability Test mode, you can enable/disable the display of information the I key. * New: in Stability Test mode, you can enable/disable the fur rendering with the SPACE key. Thanks to David Legrand for the idea. * New: added new standard resolutions: 800×600 and 1920×1080. * New: added new interface translations: - castilian (thanks to LordIntel) - bulgarian (thanks to fellix) - polish (thanks to rogalik) - slovak (thanks to ufo and Peter H.) - spanish (thanks to tech4pcs) * Change: main startup GUI reorganization. * Change: improved OpenGL rendering context creation. * Change: log file renamed to FurMark_xxx.log * Bugfix: GPU min temperature in temperature graph is now correctly updated. * Bugfix: in multithreading management.
