Yep the new version 1.6.5 is out! The bug came from Catalyst 9.1 “Human-Wanna-Be” feature: Catalyst A.I. Let me know if the workaround is robust and I will be able to officially release the new FurMark.

hi
i found this thread while searching for a solution to stop secondlife crashing all time on my new system (hd4850, phenom 9950, vista64)
thanks for the hint on adaptive antialiasing, this solved my problem!
and since this is a benchmark site i just gave it a run … is 4963 o3Marks a good value?
Zeuz > ATI has added a FurMark detection in Catalyst and I can do nothing by code to prevent that. The only solution is to rename FurMark since this detection is based on the name FurMark. But from version 1.6.0, I’ve added a renamed version of FurMark in the intaller: etqw.exe. And by default, all shortcuts point to etqw.exe…
happy > yes 4963 is a good score for your HD 4850. You can check other scores here: FurMark Comparative Table.
