GPU companies aren't the biggest fans (pun intended) of FurMark 2.9 as it is often referred to as a "GPU virus" because it puts graphics cards under extreme GPU loads that games and benchmarking don't usually do. It's nothing out of the ordinary, as other benchmarking tools do similar things to your PC hardware (like Cinebench punishing your CPU loading every core and thread).

FurMark v2 is a Vulkan-based GPU tool that works on both Windows and Linux, with special versions in the wild that also support Arm-based hardware. The latest FurMark 2.9 release supports new graphics cards like NVIDIA's just-released GeForce RTX 5050 and the workstation-based AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700.

FurMark developer Geeks3D has also added some commercial name support for FurMark 2.9, including the GALAX RTX 5090 D HOF, SAPPHIRE RX 9060 XT NITRO+, SAPPHIRE RX 9060 XT PULSE, ASRock RX 9060 XT Steel Legend OC 16GB, XFX RX 9060 XT Swift OC 16GB, and ASUS RX 9060 XT Prime OC 16GB graphics cards.
