good benchmarking on cpu ONLY

[csflipfreakz]

hi since every1 says 3dmark series are only good for gpu, is there a benchmark utility that is solely based on cpu scores???

3dmark 2001 I believe is a good bench for cpu's.

PCMark04 is pretty handy. Also, 3DMark05 taxes the CPU by having it calculate the baloon's path through the valley thing.

All of the 3dmock and PCmock crap are just that crap...synthetic benches that ppl try to use to compare and they are not good for that....These programs are good for comparing your own tweaking and ocing results...

I would suggest actually run gaming demos if you are into that , or run some real app test for yourself...If you are just interested in getting scores to compare and brag that is pretty much a nice waste of a PC...

SuperPi is a nice cpu bench a lot of ppl are using......

well i would do game benchmarking like ut2004, far cry, and hl2 but i dont even know how to initiate a benchmarking thing in their game...any1 else know how to do it like run a loop with average fps or something?? what other games are top notch for the latest technology???

 

[csflipfreakz]

For UT2004, make sure you have the latest patch installed. Then, go into your UT2004\System directory and run Benchmark.exe.

For Farcry, it doesn't come with it's own benchmarking utility, but you can download one here: http://www.hardwareoc.hu/index.php/p/news/cid/3/y/5851.html

For Half-Life 2, you can record a demo and play it back with the command 'timedemo demoname' and it will give you benchmarking stats at the end of the run. There is also a HL2 benchmarking utility you can download here: http://www.hardwareoc.hu/index.php/p/news/cid/7/y/6994.html

oh ya forgot to ask...how bout doom3??

 

[Emultra]

You could try Painkiller.

For Doom 3, open up the console, (Ctrl+Alt+~) then type "timedemo demo1" (w/out quotes). If you run "timedemo demo1 1" it will use precaching, which will be closer to how your regular game performance is.

Well, SuperPi works too.
