Video games at your intended resolution. But if you want synthetic benchmarks, Unigine Superposition is a good option, along with Unigine Valley and Heaven. 3DMark 2013 is a decent option as well.

Well you should know the components inside the pc -> compare to similar systems online. However running a benchmark/game can be a great way to see that the system is stable and how it performs noicewise etc.

What do you want to test? The CPU or GPU?

 

For GPU: Games you intent to play, 3DMark, Unigine etc

For CPU: Cinebench, Blender and similar tools.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Oneplus 6 (Early 2023 to present) | HP Envy 15" x360 R7 5700U (Mid 2021 to present) | Steam Deck (Late 2022 to present)

 

Mid 2023 AlTech Desktop Refresh - AMD R7 5800X (Mid 2023), XFX Radeon RX 6700XT MBA (Mid 2021), MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon (Early 2018), 32GB DDR4-3200 (16GB x2) (Mid 2022

Noctua NH-D15 (Early 2021), Corsair MP510 1.92TB NVMe SSD (Mid 2020), beQuiet Pure Wings 2 140mm x2 & 120mm x1 (Mid 2023),

Valley is actually horrible.  It's more of a CPU benchmark anymore, than a GPU.  Heaven is just "ok", but with high end hardware, you'll hit a bottleneck with it too.

Superposition, Firestrike, Timespy.....

CPU: Ryzen 1600X @ 4.15ghz  MB: ASUS Crosshair VI Mem: 32GB GSkill TridenZ 3200
GPU: 1080 FTW PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1000P2 / EVGA SuperNova 750P2  SSD: 512GB Samsung 950 PRO
HD: 2 x 1TB WD Black in RAID 0  Cooling: Custom cooling loop on CPU and GPU  OS: Windows 10
