The popular gpu stress and benchmarking tool has now had its first update for 2010. Dubbed by the creators as the Hot Like Hell Edition, 1.8.0 has updated post processing effects and a new effect based on vertex displacement mapping, all targeted towards creating more load and more heat on recent graphics cards. As a result, the scores you get in 1.8.0 will be lower than that in previous versions. You can download it from here. A full changelog follows:
