Have questions about 3DMark

[slipduck]

So I have a XFX GTS RX 580 8 GB, and I'm planning on benchmarking it on 3DMark Firestrike to ensure stability after overclocking to the guaranteed limit (OC+). I have a few questions about it. Can I run Firestrike in a window? How do I monitor my temps? Is there a setting to show statistics?

Use Unigine heaven or Valley or superposition. All 3 will show you temps + stats while benchmarking. 

 

Different programs, same result.

Yes, you can run FireStrike, or 3D Mark in a Window...but some GPUs may not run at full 3D clock speeds -- as the drivers can get confused between running 3D or 2D profiles.

 

You can use any GPU monitoring / overclocking software to monitor temperatures and frequencies.

For an example, MSi Afterburner and GPU-Z both can log temperatures, GPU and Memory clock speeds, etc ... and they can just run in the background.
