Ozone3D has released FurMark 1.5.0, this is an OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of your graphics card. You can download it over here.

Changelog:
  • New: added GPU temperature log facility. If enabled, a log file (gpu-temperature.xml) is generated (in Stability Test mode only) to log degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit as well as elapsed time.
  • New: benchmark results can be logged in a file (FurMark-Scores.txt). This feature is useful in command line when starting multiple tests. See Run-Multiple-Tests.bat for an example.
  • New: added a postprocessing pass in Stability Test mode to make the test more intensive.
  • New: in benchmarking mode, score is returned to Windows. Useful for command line scripts.
  • New: startup dialog box is available in several languages. If you want to translate FurMark, feel free to send the translated xml file (see gui-english.xml in FurMark folder for an example). Of course, your credits will be added on FurMark's homepage). Current translations: english, french, chinese (traditional and simplified) and german.
  • New: added key F9 to make a screenshot (windowed or fullscreen but in Stability Mode only).
  • New: added checkbox for Xtreme Burning Mode.
  • Change: Xtreme Burning mode is more gpu-intensive...
  • Bugfix: improved OpenGL rendering context to support new ForceWare 180.xx series.
