Synthetic tests

[Ripred]

I know synthetic tests don't give you a reliable real world use expectation but I was wondering Which ones are the closest 

Currently I only use a few tests, Ill list the few I use the most below maybe some of you could tell me their reliability and or some better options more reflective of real world use

 

Heaven benchmark 4.0

Crystal disk mark

Cinebench 23

DPClat Laytency checker

LaytencyMon Home edition

What is your purpose in running these tests? Are you trying to compare your Pc to another or what?

Stability, Available headroom to possibly push more, Sanity check (knowing what to expect)

And here comes the catch, your system will be stable all the way in synthetics and some newer games. Later on you decide to play something older and less demanding and you get BSODs all day long. I'd pick the games you play and the applications you run and create your own test by recording fps, temps etc. on paper (yes paper, because if the system crashes, those results may be gone). Synthetics are a great way to push the system to test out thermals and some overclocks but overall system stability, especially in games may come down to how the engine of said game is coping with fluctuating clocks. The only way in my book to have synthetics make sense is to go old school and disabling boost, power saving stuff and run the components full speed all the time. Then you will get fairly accurate results but that does require a lot of work with voltage adjustments.

Yeah I know the best way is just load up the software I'm using/games and see how it goes, just wondering if there's a synthetic that comes close enough so I can run a couple of those quick instead of going through the whole real world testing each time I've made and adjustment

As noted, for true testing there's no quick routes. You can run Heaven/Valley/Superposition for GPU testing. 3DMark Time Spy is the current go-to for overall testing.

 

For real-world application, there's https://www.pcguide.com/downloads/optimization/asus-realbench/

However, its not updated in a while. There's https://opendata.blender.org/ too, which is more widely used. There's also https://benchmarks.pugetsystems.com/benchmarks/ if you have already some professional software.
