Benchmarking??

Craigathorn · September 30, 2016

Which games have built in bench marking tests?

also what do people use to benchmark in general? I've only got unigen heaven at the moment, and am looking for suggestions of other FREE benchmarking stuff

oh and 1 more thing, what settings do people have their benchmarks set to? I've manage to just about get heaven to be 54fps average on my 1080 @ 2.1ghz and i7-6700k @ 4.8ghz

score came in at around 2800 I think... don't know how to gauge if this is what I should be getting or not!

Cinebench, 3Dmark, Unigen, AIDA64 (stress testing) are all good things to use to test your benchmarks. My personal favorites being 3Dmark and Cinebench. Run them at stock, and then again as you work on your overclock to see your improvements.

AIDA64 has a free trial (30D) after which you'll need a key , Cinebench is free ( I love cinebench), 3DMark has a demo on steam, which is good, and I used for a long time, but I overclock a lot and so bought it on sale for $15, which unlocks higher end benchmarks and some finer control. For what your doing you should be able to use all three programs without a problem or really desiring the paid versions.
