Just curious what everyone’s using these days. Are 3DMark and the Unigine apps still the best all-around options?

I like Unigen's Superposition. It hits all angles (resolution, big textures, high quality shader and lighting effects, physics, interactivity). So, it feels more like an actual game area. And it does it all in a relatively small area. So you can just point the camera in one spot and let the heat rise.Just curious what everyone’s using these days.

Unignene on loop.
Which one?
Heaven works for me. Any of them really.

The only benchmark I really care about for actual performance measuring purposes is the games I intend to play. Synthetic benchmarks like FireStrike and TimeSpy are fun to look at, but they're really only useful as a way of measuring who won the "game" of competitive overclocking. Actual games don't scale the same way.Just curious what everyone’s using these days. Are 3DMark and the Unigine apps still the best all-around options?

Cool story, bro. I asked about stress testing, though, not benchmarks.
And in reality, some games make GPU's "cry" much better that any "fake" test you can do....go figure.
You need to be more specific than "stress testing" then. Which part of the card are you hoping to test, and what type of stress do you have in mind?Cool story, bro. I asked about stress testing, though, not benchmarks.
So the takeaway is don't buy cheap POS PSUs?The old Furmark is still a bloodbath. Tread with caution.
I had a friend send me some cheap chinese PSU once in the late 00s that was supposedly rated to 750w. Furmark set it on fire and the case fans literally sent pitch black smoke pouring straight up to my ceiling about 2 hours into a stress test one night.
I'll never forget his laugh when I told him about it and he informed me he bought it for seven US dollars straight form the manufacturor.

I think furmark does a fair jon tbh
Msi kombuster does well too. Its kind of the prime95 for GPUs.
My 2080ti is not stable past 2050mhz even fuly water cooled. Im thinking of taking the card apart and remounting the ek block but I need to get new thermal pads to replace the ones that are on it. Something is getting too hot. Gpu temps rarely surpass 50c so im thinking vrms or something else is getting hot.
My card is the cheaper evga without all the extra sensors. I didnt even realize it when I bought it
Yeah I've had cards with the core at like 50c and the vrm >120c. A lot of cards that are under water do nothing or little outside of cooling the gpu with the block.
some old AMD gpus wouldnt have a power limiter (Pre Navi) so running 150% PL on Furmark probably would cause a huge power draw beyond realistic levels (check TPU test when they used furmark vs game power consumption in their reviews or anandtech), But with a higher power limit the power draw would increase even further in gpus like VegaThe old Furmark is still a bloodbath.
