No, you do not need Wi-Fi or any internet connection to run FurMark.
FurMark is a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) stress testing and benchmarking utility that runs locally on your computer. Its primary function is to push your graphics card to its limits to test for stability and performance. This process does not inherently require an internet connection.
Key Points:
- Local Execution: FurMark executes directly from your system's storage, utilizing your local hardware resources (CPU, GPU, RAM).
- Core Functionality: Its core stress-testing and benchmarking operations are entirely offline.
- Optional Internet Use: An internet connection would only be needed for:
- Downloading the FurMark installer itself.
- Optionally submitting your benchmark scores to online databases or leaderboards, if the software offers such a feature and you choose to use it.
However, for the act of running the benchmark and stressing your GPU, no internet access is required.
