Official PC Benchmarking Thread

[Joe88]

This thread is for benchmarking your PC performance.

By using these following programs you will be given a score after a series of tests.
After you receive said score you can take a pic (validation on orb and cpu-z would be preferred) and post it here.
In the pic you must include not only the main benchmark program but also CPU-z and GPU-z in the picture (these programs will tell other people what the current hardware of your machine is and what clocks they are running at)
also would be preferred if your current specs were in the post

anyway onto the programs:

3Dmark06 - Used to benchmark gfx performance in PC games (full 3D)

3Dmark Vantage - Used to benchmark DX10 performance (Windows Vista Only)

PCmark Vantage - Used to benchmark a variety of tests from video editing, to photo editing, music and much more (Windows Vista Only)

CPU-Z - Used to tell you information of your current computer, mainly for information about the CPU and all the little details, but will also tell you ram and motherboard

GPU-Z - Like cpu-z, except used to tell you information about your graphics card
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...-Z_v0.3.1.html

Super Pi Mod - Used to calculate Pi up to 32 million digits, mainly tests raw CPU power
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads..._Mod_v1.5.html

CINEBENCH - Very much like PCmark Vantage, used to benchmark many features of your hardware, mainly used for film, music, and photo editing computers
