Methods for Benchmarking

[Atlas3802]

Wanted some community input on how you all do benchmarking. To be specific, benchmarking CPU and GPU performance and temperatures. I haven't really benchmarked that much and am about to start my custom loop installation and delidding but wanted to benchmarks and test temps before I did all of that

Cinebench is good for CPU testing, along with Aida64.

 

For GPU testing, I usually run Unigine Superposition and Heaven. 3DMark is also good.

I benchmark with passmark as the cross referencing and sample size to identical hardware is huge.

Basically it spits out a number for each component , and you can compare it with everyone elses number to make sure yours matches. Works good for me.

Good old Cinebench and Heaven Benchmark

How about good method for keeping track of and recording temps overtime?

Passmark

3DMark

Unigine

Cinebench

Aida64

OCCT  (for CPU AND GPU stability testing, better than Prime95 IMO)

 

Monitoring software, i just use Aida64. Can set it up to produce CSV log files that can be used in excel for graphs and such.

Testing the limit? Prime95 with 50% load (100% on the CPU will not create a good load on the GPU) on the CPU and Furmark at the same time.

This will give you a good idea on the thermal performance of the loop.

 

CPU test only: Prime95 on all threads

GPU test only: Furmark or anything that can loop and create a consistant load

Prime95 and heaven superposition and to monitor i use core temp and msi afterburner. To get average fps i use fraps
