  • Searched the Archive and Stickies andgot litte answers. Preferred Benchmark Utility software?

    I have a decently designed system... I'm not a gamer and have until today just used onboard graphics.... but Ive always been much more interested in raw processing power.

    I noticed 3dMark,Passmark,and PCMark04 in all the stickies. I know most benchmark utilities are specialized to a specific component or subcomponent... but what would be my best bet for benchmarking my CPU/MB?

    I realize there are answers in the archives... but they appear to all be older than 4-5 years. Im looking for something more current.

    Any insight would be great. Im currently using SiSandra 2010 & upgrading to siSandra 2012 Pro as I type this.

    Postscript: As a frequenter of multiple specialty forums... I know asking questions that appear completely moronic to the regulars can be rritating and falming-worthy... but please know that I tried duing my due dilligence searching the archive and stickies first....and yes, Im new to the forum.

    We are a semi-civilized group here and flaming is not allowed.

    For real world benchmarks, Futuremark's Vantage test suite is one of the best. Futuremark - PCMark Vantage
    AIDA64 | PC Benchmark | System Diagnostics | Network Inventory . and SiSoftware Zone are comprehensive test suites.

    Check out http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...ity-tools.html for more benchmarking programs.

      Good to know... Im a member of some dog club boards and some of the old hags on there are B-R-U-T-A-L.
      They flame anyone that comes on the forum and doesn't already know everything they came to ask.

      I greatly appreciate the common courtesy a board like this provides and the help you in particular have given thus far.
