Benchmarks?

[Muel]

Hey, just wondering what kind of benchmarks everyone runs? I've only ever used SuperPi and 3Dmark06?

I want something that's more of a proper benchmark for comparing AMD and Intel, SuperPi is terribly Intel favouring. I have a stock E5300 here that completes it in just over 21 seconds, and my 965BE at stock does it in just under 21 seconds.

Cheers guys, lots to choose from.

I tend to run fraps a fair bit, I would run 3Dmark Vantage but I think you can only do one run on the trial? So I've just stuck with 3Dmark06.

I fancy trying FarCry 2 anyway, so I could use that benchmark easily enough.

There's that chess based one too that I've used in the past, seemed to be a better benchmark for comparing AMD and Intel than SuperPi. I'll look up wprime too, cheers all!

I'm just interested really, never done any serious benching.

As you can see from my Crysis benchmark results, it'll do for now.

I'll add another 5830 at some point, but as yet I've never felt the need for one. Just got to hope I can find one cheap enough in a year or so, OCUK have already sold their stock and I doubt they'll be getting more in with the 6*** series on the way.
