MSI Kombustor has managed to prove itself as one of the most reliable ways of testing capabilities of GPU cards. Today, this app is regularly often used not only by regular PC users and gaming enthusiasts who want to get an overview of their PC components capabilities, but also video game developers who need to optimize their real-time rendering applications for various levels of GPU power. The load limit is reached with complex 3D renderings and various data is recorded.MSI Afterburner beats competitor overclocking utilities with one main thing; user-friendliness. This overclocking utility is sought after by lots of professionals and hobbyists because of its user-friendly design. It is capable of reading your hardware to give you a detailed overview. Other features that make this overclocking utility the crème de la crème of them all are the amazing extra features it comes with including video recording, benchmarking, and customizing fan profiles. Built from the ground up to be easy to use and accessible, MSI Kombustor does not present many options to its users – they can pick between few of the available tests, set the preferred rendering API (OpenGL 2, OpenGL 3, Direct 3D 9, Direct 3D 10, Direct 3D 11), anti-aliasing mode, rendering mode (fullscreen or windowed) and choose whether they want to perform a long-term GPU burn-in test or a single Benchmark run. The app has three individual tests - Wavy Plane (GL2), Fractal Frame (GL3), and Triangle of Death (GL2). Benchmark will enable them to observe the real performance level of the installed GPU card, with scores that can be compared with other GPUs or with the alternate overclocking levels of the same GPU. On the other hand, the burn-in test is a prolonged test where your GPU will be tasked to render incredibly complex workload and is required to maintain that stressful load to prove that it can work at peak performance for as long as user desire. To test the quality of some GPU cards and its overclocking settings, users can leave their GPU to perform burn-in tests anywhere between an hour and the entire day. As a bonus, MSI Kombustor also features slim support for LED controller support for managing illumination that is built into your GPU card (especially MSI models). Illumination levels can be tied to GPU usage, GPU temperature, or be set to pulse automatically in some of the available preset modes.

Using the benchmarking component of MSI Kombustor you can generate a score that represents how well your graphics card performs using a very intensive OpenGL test. You can then compare your score against other MSI Kombustor users to determine if your card is performing well. The stress test component of MSI Kombustor allows you to test how well your graphics cards operate when under a heavy load. When a GPU has hardware issues they commonly fail when under heavy use. In order to detect these issues, you can use MSI Kombustor to perform a stress test that quickly overheats your GPU. When running this test if your computer freezes, you have graphical artifacts displaying on your screen, or other issues then this may indicate an issue with your card or inadequate cooling. As an added bonus, MSI Kombustor also includes a CPU stress test called CPU Burner that will quickly get your computer's processor to 100% utilization and overheats it. Using this tool with a CPU temperature monitor utility allows you to test your CPU to see how well it operates under this heavy load and whether or not your cooling solution is doing an adequate job.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q - What is MSI Kombustor?

Afterburner and kombustor are two different software. Afterburner lets you tweak the card, and Kombustor helps you find maximum oc limit of it faster. So each official version is released in MSI website, and we put Afterburner and Kombustor together for users to download.

Q - What does MSI Kombustor do?

MSI Kombustor Command your GPU through processing to provide you the statistics. MSI Kombustor uses your system GPU more from its capability and analyzes it. Later on when the process is finished, it gives you the detailed information.

Q - MSI Kombustor - Instantly broke my GPU?

Kombuster and Furmark are notorious for breaking graphics cards, especially ones that weren't over-engineered with overly beefy power delivery components. They're also quite good at telling you whether or not your power supply and motherboard power delivery are good enough.
