When buying a high-performance laptop for work that involves graphics-heavy tasks such as drawing in Autocad, 3Dmax, 3D rendering, Photoshop, playing demanding 3D games, etc., you need to pay attention to 2 factors: the CPU and the 3D graphics card, which must run stably at high frequencies. To check the stability of the CPU and graphics card, use the Furmark software.
Download Furmark
What Furmark does is render heavy 3D scenes and compute complex formulas so the CPU and GPU (graphics card) run at 100% capacity; over a long period, the CPU & GPU heat up so you can see whether any errors appear in the system.
After downloading, launch Furmark
After making your selections, we start testing the graphics card. Let Furmark run and watch the FPS and the GPU graphics card temperature
Personally, I think an FPS above 10 is acceptable, and the card temperature must stay below 78- 80*C; if it gets too high, the GPU graphics card can easily die
Main features of FurMark:
– Check the temperature and stability of the graphics card
– Simulate situations the graphics card runs into
– Check the GPU cooling system
