Here is an incredible news to start the day: Expreview has found that ATI’s Catalyst 8.8 have been optimized to detect FurMark and downclock the frequencies of a Radeon HD 4850/4870 to avoid to burn the GPU. |
So if you have a Radeon HD 4850 or Radeon HD 4870, just rename FurMark.exe in something.exe and you will see the difference!
Expreview has done the test with Quake Wars: Emeny Territory and has renamed etqw.exe to FurMark.exe and saw performance drop from 141.3FPS to 93.7FPS!
I have not a Radeon HD 4000 series but I think that I’m going to buy a Radeon HD 4850 today!
It’s a pain to develop a benchmark to make it running properly on most graphics hardwares and now I have to include in FurMark a Catalyst anit-cheat???? Thanks AMD/ATI….
Why AMD doesn’t contact me directly to find out the problem???

Just 50% of performance!
Tested on a MSI HD 4870 OC 512/256 780/1000
You can disable Catalyst A.I for the same result.
