Benchmarking Programs

[skaran27]

Can someone link me to downloads of benchmarking software that is free and everyone uses. I have looked around and every site so fishy to me. So, that is why I am asking you guys ..Also links of monitoring CPU temp. I will use EVGA Precision X to monitor my GPU.

Too lazy to link, first linked thing on Google usually does the trick:

Ungine Heaven/Valley

3DMark's stuff

MSI Kombustor

Any game that has a built in benchmark (Resident Evil 6, Batman, Metro, etc.)

And of course any game that you want to run around in like a chicken with it's head cut off, frapsing it to benchmark.

I usually use Unigine's benchmarks. They're free for personal use and cross platform.
