Comparative Applications
It's been roughly fifteen years since I last assembled a computer, but I used to really enjoy it. My final project was a dual Pentium 3 built into a watercooled case with two sockets—those days are gone. A friend of mine drilled copper channels, added hoses, a fan, a radiator, and even a small coolant container. I don’t recall the exact benchmark software I used back then. Now I’m planning to upgrade and want to test my current system and a new gaming rig. Which tools are most commonly recommended for benchmarking? Thanks for assisting a fellow builder!
The top choice for CPU testing is Cinebench, though PC Mark and SuperPi are also viable options. For GPU, the most commonly used are 3DMark, Unigine Heaven, and Valley. Catzilla is occasionally employed as well.
