Guest account for gpu benchmarking?

[The Spark]

Just wondering if it would be worth it to make a guest account for GPU benchmarking, my primary administrator account is filled with background applications which I couldnt bother turning off one by one just to benchmark.

Depends on how much benchmarking you do.  And I doubt background applications really affect GPU performance, that should be more on the CPU.

Won't really make a difference, you can also change program priority or niceness

Not a lot really, having a few friends over tomorrow though and they asked to test my card on 10-15 games with various quality settings, I think they are doing a comparison test with a custom watercooled overclocked 1070.

It shouldn't affect anything.

The thing is that I know my friends OS is bare to the core, he has the same CPU and RAM but only games installed, his rig is a purely dedicated gaming rig ... but I am not lending him my card. He will have to do the tests here, just wanted to make things even and dont want him to mess up my system.

 

But I guess you are right, with the same CPU but with the GPU doing most of the load it really shouldn´t effect things much.
