FurMark for Windows 11
FurMark runs as a desktop GPU stress test and benchmark on Windows 11. Install a supported graphics driver, select the intended GPU on hybrid systems, and begin with a short monitored test.
Prepare Windows 11
Install current Windows updates and a stable driver for the exact NVIDIA, AMD or Intel GPU. Restart after major driver changes and close overlays or capture tools that could affect the test.
Select the High-Performance GPU
On laptops with integrated and discrete graphics, open Windows Graphics settings, add the FurMark executable and choose the high-performance option. Confirm the adapter name inside the application before testing.
Run the Benchmark
Choose a repeatable preset for scores or a conservative initial resolution for stability testing. Monitor temperature and clocks. Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and driver settings can affect results, so document them when comparing runs.
Windows 11 Problems
For startup failures, check driver support, security history and the integrity of the download. For black screens or driver recovery, restore stock GPU settings and use a shorter test before deeper troubleshooting.
