Q&D graphics benchmark?
Hi folks.
I've decided that I *really* have to sort out my collection of crap... errrr.... my computers and parts. Therefore I'm building as many machines as I can from my spares collection and taking the rest of the hardware off to be recycled. I have a couple of 'integrated' motherboards ranging from PIII to Skt 775 / C2D. I also have a couple of low-end AGP cards and also two PCI (not 'e') GeForce 2 / 32MB cards. I'm trying to sort out which systems would benefit from the PCI cards. Obviously I don't want to put one in a system that has equal or better integrated graphics. I was just wondering, dows anyone know of a simple graphics benchmark utility that I could use to find out which systems would benefit? I have various '3DMark' programmes but they're all large and, for my porpoises, overly-complex. Also, as I intend to sell these systems as simple 'internet / email' machines I'd rather not install a huge programme that takes 15 minutes to run, then uninstall it. Orphaned .dlls and all that.... So, the question: Can anyone recommend a small, simple and fast graphics benchmark that would suit my purposes? All machines will be running XP. The ultimate app for me would be a 'portable' graphics benchmark tool that doesn't have to be installed, that could be run from a USB stick. TIA, and happy new year. :-) -- Shaun.
