Hi guys,

I'm after some software that will allow me to benchmark my cpu, gpu and hd.

I want to do comparisons for when my new upgrades roll out

PCMark?

Don't you have to pay for that? I was sure there were free alternatives around...

Using the free version right now, thanks.

Didn't there used to be loads of benchmark tools though; sandra was one of them I think? Does no one use them anymore :confused:

3D mark is good for CPU and GPU, allows you to compare your results to people with similar systems. Unfortunately it's slightly addictive, and for my hardware I'm now 10th out of 3800 and working on bettering that. Be warned if you have a competitive streak. :rolleyes:
