what programs do you guys use to benchmark your computer? I recently became interested in benchmarking my new ASUS g53sx laptop just for sheets and giggles.
It's been so long since I ran one, I don't even remember what program it was I used. I'd almost be suspicious of allowing any program that kind of access now days.
is futuremark still around? that's where i would start. i seem to remember passmark having something out there as well.
QFT But, I haven't run a benchmark in years. I'm not really overclocking anymore, so it's not worth me figuring out my FPS's from one change to the next. ~Will Courtier~
