Benchmarking Prog's; What do you use?

For benchmarking my CPU/platform and video card I use every single 3D game I own that also has built-in benchmarks with it. After all, the number one reason why I upgrade my computer is for games. 🙂
 
Right now I have the following benchmarks installed
Sisoft Sandra 2003
3DMark 2001SE
PCMark2002
PerformanceTest PassMark
CPUMark99
SpecViewPerf 7.0
Threadmark
HDTach
CDSpeed

I also have the following games
Q3A
RtCW
UT2003
 
I use my Games and Sandra


I Avoid 3dmark like the plague. One of the most hyped, exploited, over rated, and useless benchmarks out there. Even if you can't provide documented difinitive proof of the exploitation, we all know the manufactures and software designers "optimize" for this benchmark. makes it completely useless for anything other then bragging rights.
