Does furmark still damage GPUs?
Why does FurMark have a “GPU killer” reputation, but playing heavy games with 100% load for hours is totally fine?
Undervolted my 4080 and ran furmark for about 10 minutes. Are these good numbers?
Never Run FurMark

What’s the actual difference between running something like FurMark vs just playing demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, or Red Dead Redemption 2?
From what I’ve read, a lot of people say FurMark can “kill” your GPU if you run it for too long. But at the same time, people are out here playing games at basically 100% GPU usage for hours every day, for months or even years, and their GPUs are completely fine apart from thermals creeping up a bit.
For example, I’ve been playing Crimson Desert at 100% GPU load for around 60 hours total now and everything is completely stable. But the moment I run FurMark for more than 2 minutes, id literally sweat my balls.
Is FurMark just propaganda?
Curious to hear from people who understand this deeper.
