Best way to benchmark?

DEL 707 · 27 May 2020 at 15:34

I've just done a format and reinstall on my PC and I want to make sure evyerthings running at the speed it should.

What are the best benchmarks I can run for my CPU/GPU?
Is there a place where I can post the results to see if my hardware is meeting expectations?

I think you may be in the wrong forum. Prime95 (CPU/memory - can be quite intense), AIDA64 (memory bandwidth and latency), FurMark (graphics), 3DMark (graphics and system) & Heaven (graphics) and Cinebench (CPU) are worth a try.

You can compare your Cinebench R20 (mainly for testing your CPU's single core and multi core performance) results with others on OcUK here.

Same for Heaven.

And the 2 versions of the 3DMark; standard and extreme.

I find Shadow of Tomb Raider benchmark does better at bringing out errors due to GPU overclock compared to Heaven or Furmark

PCs are usually quite good for it.

Make sure the thermostat in your property is maxed to get that real summer heatage.

Download more RAM

As this is GD, find a bench and someone called Mark? Bonus points if they don't want to be benched.

Try installing a game a playing it.....

Ah, was meant for general hardware, not general discussion.

the only benchmarks I ever run when I fresh install is my SSDs and HD's

in the past I've had weirdness where windows had them running in the wrong mode until I updated drivers

that pretty much benches your whole system. it also takes like 30 seconds to run and it tells you what percentile each device is running at compared to everyone else with the same hardware.

make sure you turn g sync or anything else that will limit frames off.

I bought PC and 3d mark when they were going cheap a few years ago. Good options imo and let's you see how your PC compares. Won't tell you what cooling people have though.
