idk man, on both gpus I've had (visiontek r7 370 & my current STRIX 970) furmark just throttles the card, makes it hit the power limit even with my custom bios on the 970 raising it to 245W (the most I can draw through one 8pin and the pci slot) & drops the gpu voltage
no game will ever do this and its just way too excessive lol
Ok, and did anything happen to your cards??? I'm sure they are fine.
If a brand new card breaks from this test, then it would break in a couple months at most.
In
itzpookiie case especially, he would RMA the card with no problems.
The whole point of benchmarking your components is to push them to the limit and see how they perform.
If he wants he can run a less intensive benchmark as well. But if the benchmark has to push the GPU to be used at 100%, any benchmark that will do that is fine.
