Download the New Version MSI Kombustor 4.1.27: A Comprehensive Review

MSI Kombustor 4.1.27, a new version of the popular GPU stress testing software, has been released. In this review, we will delve into the details of what's new and how it performs compared to its predecessor.

NVIDIA Vulkan 1.3.273 Developer Driver 538.09

In our tests, we noticed that both OCCT GPU and FurMark required a significant amount of power consumption when stress testing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280. In fact, the current exceeded 80A in both cases, resulting in a power consumption of around 100W.

OCCT GPU Troubles with Radeon Cards

Interestingly, the new version of OCCT gives some trouble to Radeon cards with reference PCBs. If the current exceeds 83.3A, these cards simply crash. However, this issue may be addressed in future Catalyst drivers.

FurMark and OCCT GPU Tests

We tested FurMark's Xtreme mode, which resulted in a GPU temperature of 86/87°C after one minute and 85°C at the end. The normal mode test also showed similar results, with a drop to 84°C at the end. Meanwhile, OCCT GPU's shader complexity tests revealed temperatures of 85°C at the end for both shader complexity 8 and 0.

Test Settings

Our testing configuration consisted of a duration of 180 seconds, resolution of 1024x768 in windowed mode, and an EVGA's GeForce GTX 280 with default clocks.

Overall, the new version of MSI Kombustor 4.1.27 is a solid release that provides a comprehensive stability test for overclockers. With its ability to test CPU, system memory, and GPU performance, it is an essential tool for anyone looking to push their hardware to its limits. We highly recommend giving it a try.
