Hi guys, which Benchmarking package is a true indication of a PC’S capabilities?
Hi guys, which Benchmarking package is a true indication of a PC’S capabilities?
Your eyes
I quite like notebookreviews.. reviews.
Dell Vostro 1510 Review
They use a few benchmarking things which are quite good for comparison.
thanks for that, are they any good for desktop pc's ?
Yeah as good as any I think.
There are loads of others though, look at the hexus reviews and techpowerup, they are usually very indepth using all sorts of programs.
Never got into it myself, it's either good enough or it's not lol
Your last is where i am at at the mo, but at work they keep asking what my score is etc, so i thought i would ask around.
Thanks again.
Score? Then they're probably thinking FutureMark's 3DMark06. Futuremark - Download
3DMark is probably the best all round benchmark, but all it really tells you is how good your PC is at 3Dmark...
The only true test of a PCs abilities is to test it doing what you are going to be using it for... Which sounds like tautology, but is a valid point.
If you'd like a number which sums up your PC's ability then 3DMark will probably fit the bill, though it cannot be related to your PC's ability to run any program/game you may wish to use...
It really depends what you want to benchmark the pc against?
i.e. for gaming capabilities, video encoding/decoding, 2D graphics, etc
