Free benchmark programs?
A few years ago I used to use 3DMark to benchmark my computers and get
a feel for if my tweaks were helping my gaming performance or hurting it. I just re-visited their site and they seem to be pay only now (or a crappy trial that only runs once). The question: What are some FREE benchmarking tools can I use? (preferably ones that lets you compare your results to other people) |

Free benchmark programs?
Well, it does work but the real important things (like all the settings)
in it don't work: that's only when you buy it :-( Initial posters complaint: There's no free version of 3DMark to do a standard benchmark. Response: There is, and surprisingly, it's available right on the 3DMark06 download page at no cost. Your complaint: Yes, it's there, but it only runs the default 1280x1024 bench with no options or other features. Response: The default (and 100% free) 3DMark06 1280x1024 run is pretty much one standard you'll see in just about every review of a newer videocard. If you want the ability to use specific resolutions and tests in 3DMark06 you need to so something you apparently don't want to: Purchase it. How you can call this unreasonable is difficult to comprehend. |
