FurMark 2's new interface (source: FurMark + Geeks3D)

The new FurMark 2 was created using the latest cross-platform tool called GeeXLab with a GUI, while the command tool uses GeeXLab SDK. You've got support with FurMark 2 and Windows 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, and even Linux 64-bit with operating systems.

The next update for FurMark 2 will include support for Linux 32-bit and Raspberry Pi, with possible MacOS support coming in the near future. Future 3D APIs can be added into FurMark 2, including OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.0/3.1 APIs, but were most likely omitted from the v2.0 release because they're not cross-platform compatible.

There's a new page to show user-submitted scores with FurMark 2, the submitted information from users includes the max GPU core usage, max GPU core temperature, minimum and maximum GPU clocks, and maximum power consumed during the benchmarking session.
