GPU:

- 3DMark

- Heaven Benchmark

- Ungine Superposition (kind of took over the Heaven spot)

- Blender (there are certain benchmarks)

 

CPU:

- Cinebench (R15 or R20)

- Blender again

- 3DMark has a CPU score too.. Not that interesting

- 7-Zip compression/decompression test

 

HDD/SSD:
- CrystalDiskBench

 

General:

- You can take basically any program/game you use and think of a benchmark. A test to see how fast something is going. The point is to make a reliable/repeatable test.

- Games. Some games have a built-in benchmarking utility (Shadow of the Tomb Raider, GTA V, some of the Metro games, etc.), but you can also play a certain piece of the game to make a benchmark too.

 

Stress testing (Sometimes you want to test the limit of your components, which is what you would use a benchmark for):

CPU: Aida64

GPU: Furmark

These are very unrealistic loads though and should only be used to check if your temperatures and clocks are within reason

 

EDIT: when benchmarking games, I use FRAPS to record the fps numbers and use FRAFS to get average, 1% lows and 0.1% low scores.
