How do I benchmark my computer? i want to benchmark how good it is with game. how do i do it?

You need a benchmarking program such as 3D Mark 05, or Aguamark. You can google them and find their sites and download them. They will run on your computer and through a series of videos and tests give you a score which you can use to compare to other computers.

Two|Bit · 11-07-2005, 07:29 PM

im guessing I should use 3Dmark since iwant to see how good my computer is with games?

rspassey · 11-07-2005, 07:46 PM

Yea - that is a good one to start with.

Lotsa good programs out there, depending on what you want to benchmark:

Sandra
FreshDiagnose
HDTach
etc...

I got 4337 on 3Dmark 05... is that good? I did a cpu test and all of the other tests. i got around 20 fps

rspassey · 11-08-2005, 03:02 PM

Not bad, pretty nice for the system in your sig (if that is the one you tested on). I got a 7627. To measure FPS withing games you can use Fraps (I use it often for screen shots too).

I read on Digg a guy getting 17 560 point on 3dmark 05. it was the world record. it seems so huge compared to mine...whats your system Ryan? Whoops nevermind I see your sig at the top

i tested doing everything... like those squares the go across the screen, and i got a lower score... is this normal or does it just do more rigurous testing... it was only lower by about 50.

I might be able to get pretty close (JK JK) to that after I upgrade to dual 7800gtxs... I think David M got darn close to 13,000... maybe he has broken it now by OCing.

That's disgusting. Pure disgusting.

And I was happy with my score - it was somewhere between 3800-4780...dont remember.

Well I think - I will never be able to break any sport related record, any natural oddities record, any strength or intelligence record - might as well go for the highest 3D mark score ... lol... well I was going to do the upgrade anyway - might hold off now and buy imediately when a new set of cards comes out... or not.

Now come on. I've always been for growing a third arm. I swear somebody will do it one day - and it wont be radiation induced either. Go for the gold!

Actually I editted my post saying that I realized his system was in his sig, but it looks like as you where posting that message as I was editting mine.

My current computer prolly wouldn't top 1000 in 3DMark05 I'd imagine, and I don't care. It plays the games I want it to, and I can trawl the internet easily enough

LA22 · 11-09-2005, 04:57 PM

Do you get the same scrom everytime you run it? or do the scores very?

tomster2300 · 11-09-2005, 05:30 PM

They should vary each time you do it - it fluctuates based on a number of variables.

Nope - mine vary mostly depending on background applications - temperature - and the number of times I have run it in a row - they dont vary much; +/- 20
