Hi
I'm looking for an alternative to UserBenchmark since they're trying to shrink their user base this year. Not exactly what I was expecting, but it's still useful.
I checked a bit on Google and mostly saw warnings or people trying to change their settings for better scores. That wasn't what I needed.
I used it to compare my percentile against others, and it highlighted issues like a red popup when components were slower than expected.
Before, it helped me spot that I forgot to remove XMP and that my GPU was in the wrong slot. It also pointed out an SSD nearing the end of its life.
For the example image I mentioned (not mine), it showed a GPU problem. Are there other programs like this?
Best regards,
O

I stopped using it once they began promoting pro membership to even conduct the test. I wish they weren’t the top choice anymore, since it’s just a trap. It’s free to download, but you need a pro membership to run it. It seems it’s time to earn from being the best in every search.

You might need to use tools like hwinfo and manually compare your scores with others who have similar hardware.

For SSDs, you can run programs such as Crystaldiskinfo to check drive health. CPU-Z could assist with XMP settings – https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

CPU-Z benchmark is acceptable.
Passmark has its own merits.

You can also visit 3DMark. The complimentary trials usually include a selection of most items.
