Good benchmarking apps
Good benchmarking apps
I am new to the benchmarking arena. Could you guys recommend some decent apps and post links to downloads please.
I think you missed the point. Am looking for recommendations. Anyone can use Google, but I am looking for apps that have worked for others on the forum.kraven wrote:Look in the Benchmarking section, the top couple are names of good apps allot of us use, Im lazy like you so google them
So dont be lazy read before you post.
what aspect do you want to benchmark ?????
if its graphics performance then the 3dmark series is all good from 3dmark 01 upward - all the way to 3dmark06
if you want to bench total pc performance then pc mark is okay
if you want to test stability - then prime95 is good and the larger tests of superpi - ram stability can be measured by memtest
current graphics performance is best measured with 3dmark06 since that also has a cpu test which is affected by number of cores - so its the best measure of how strong your pc really is against other modern pc's

Thanks for the info. Been trying to download 3DMARK06 for hours now. Will give it a bash. Would also like to start looking at overclocking my PC, my specs are:
C2D E6600
intel lamont mobo
2 x 1024 DDR2 800 Trancend jetram
7900GT
320GB SATA2 drive
Zalman 9700LED CPU cooler

it was on one of the pc format coverdisc dvd's - its a huge download - not worth to kill your cap over - unless yo have unlimited downloading facilities - get it from a friend rather - or get someone to put it on a writable disc and post it to youBeen trying to download 3DMARK06 for hours now

But i did read, if you read mine...
Is that not a recommendation, BTW, SuperPi is fun, as it is a quick comparison of your CPU.. Nice CPU BTW, gooooood stuff!kraven wrote:Look in the Benchmarking section, the top couple are names of good apps alot of us use, Im lazy like you so google them
Try clockgen, its a windows based OCing program. Small and if you make any mess ups it will set your PC back to default so your PC can run againGromit wrote:Thanks for the info.
