Time to Benchmark

[gamergrrrl]

So I just finished my first build and all seems well. I've installed Windows Vista 64, all my drivers... and now I need to test out my system. My gpu came with 3DMark Vantage software... I haven't tried it out yet, but what other programs can I use to test out my new rig?

Intel core i7 920
Asus P6T mobo
Sapphire Toxic HD 4870 1GB DDR5
6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600
etc

Nice system spec should bench nicely well All kinds. I general use pc mark vantage. then sandra soft then you got test real games I do ut3 and supreme commander

+1 for PCMark Vantage. There's also Science Mark 2.0 (Beta). UT3 and Crysis should be great for testing. Gotta say that's one helluva system!

I never got into much benchmarking software, with the exception of any I would use mainly for stability testing. The main one that comes to mind is SuperPi.

Use Vantage to see if the system is comparable to similar ones (to see if it's running fine) and then... games? Since I reckon this is why you bought it in the first place, right? Just buy the games that you want to play and play them
