Hey everyone! I've had my PC for almost two years now, and I'm curious if it's still running as well as it should based on its specifications. I'm looking for some benchmarking software that can help me compare my performance to others who have the same specs or parts. Basically, I want to benchmark my system and then figure out if everything is functioning optimally. Any suggestions or tools that could help? Thanks a lot!

Before you benchmark, you might want to optimize your OS first! It can take a while, but using tools like MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner for metrics, along with Cinebench for CPU performance, will help you see if your system is set up for peak performance. Also, CrystalDiskMark for SSD speed tests can be handy. It's all about stability testing, so try Prime95 for the CPU and various games like Cyberpunk 2077 for GPU stress testing!
Try using the free Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark tool! It gives you an FPS result that you can compare with others who have the same CPU and GPU setup. It's a really handy way to see if you're getting the performance you should!
Thanks! I’ll look into that, and I'm also interested in finding benchmarking software that offers average comparison results.
Grab the free version of 3DMark from Steam and run the Time Spy benchmark. It’s super user-friendly and gives you a quick score for your CPU, RAM, and GPU. You'll easily be able to compare your results with other systems to see where you stand!
Thanks for the tip!
You should check out 3DMark! It allows you to compare your build with similar setups using the same GPU and CPU. Keep in mind that results can vary if someone has overclocked their components, so find benchmarks with similar clock speeds. Also, if your GPU is near 100% usage during games, it's performing correctly, and you might want to monitor the temperatures to ensure everything runs smoothly. Try TechPowerUp's database for checking your specs, too!
I've noticed that my GPU reaches 100% usage in some games but not in others. Is that a problem? Everything runs fine otherwise, and my temps are normal. Just worried about potential software or driver issues.
Thanks for the extensive list!
