IPC tester for CPU overclocking test ?

[AngryFishLady]

Hello everyone ! I'm looking for a software to be able to have a number to put on my CPU performance and see how much I'm gaining by running higher clock frequencies.

Easiest thing to do is run cinebench r15 at stock, then at OC.

You could use Unigine Heaven

Just for clarity, you're looking for CPU performance, not IPC. IPC isn't a word for "CPU performance". IPC is performance per GHz. If your CPU is at 3.0 GHz or 5.0 GHz it will still have the same IPC even though the performance will be higher.

Ah, my bad then. I'm just looking for a software that gives me a metric of how much my CPU do, so I can see what I gain with overclocking.

Heaven, Valley, etc. are GPU benchmarks. They could tell you if your CPU was getting in the way of your GPU, but I'm not sure how bad your CPU would have to be for that to happen. I've only ever seen GPUs hit ~100% in Heaven runs.

 

What you want to compare overclocks is Cinebench.

Yup do a single core test on Cineworld R15. Before and after your OC.

Why specifically single core ?

Well if you want to compare single core performance improvements (vast majority of programs/games out there are single core) then you will want to see that improvement?

Okay, thanks !
