Stress Testing Acer Nitro 5 GPU. Should I Use Furmark or Does Anyone Have a Better Recomendation?

  Why are you GPU stress testing for in particular? FurMark is indeed one of the most widely used ones.

    I've heard some Nitro models suffer from overheating/frame loss when under gaming stress. Trying to figure out if mine is one of those.

    So, should I put it under the test with the following variables?

    1980x1080,
    anti-alisiaing set to off.
    thirty minutes?

    What would be the PASS result? 90 degrees centigrade GPU temperature, with ten percent frame loss compared to when the GPU is cold?

      Consider also Prime95 it has a combined CPU/GPU torture test!
      But keep in mind it is real TORTURE, the workload is far far more than any "game" will put on the system :/

  Use the same tests as Tom's Hardware use for their GPU testing.

  Well, if it helps, I have the same laptop, but with a 3060 instead of 3050. Overheats within 1-2 hours with a game, and youtube on background.

    I have 3060 as well.

    Is it AN515-57-54QC (NH.QEUSA.007) ?

      ahh, yes. just mildly panicking after searching the code on the HN site which had AN515-57-52E0 instead

      i guess it's just a small typo on the HN site

        Do you have Thunderbolt 4?

        AN515-57-54QC (NH.QEUSA.007) shouldn't, but Harvey Norman ad says it has Thunderbolt!

          @[Deactivated]: none that i can see. I'd probably disregard hn and just refer to the actual acer website

    Did it have frame loss when it overheated?

    Also what was the GPU temp when it was in the overheating state?

    Thanks

      sometimes frame does drop, though from what ive currently witnessed, it dropped from 120fps capped to 80-90

      as for when its overheating, temps were 85-90 for the cpu and 78-80 for gpu, this was with the fans on auto with coolboost

        Isn't it kinda normal though?

        Depends on the game.
