Bring in suggestions with a link
Must be Free to get. and must be able to do controlled accurate repeated benchmarks aka not Fraps

cheers m8 saving this for future reference

that being said, how many of these are NOT bias towards Intel / Nvidia vs AMD (using the term accurate and repeatable referencing those 2 is like mention pigs and flying like birds in the same thought process) ^.^

I always like the heaven benchmark myself
Final Fantasy was/is (to best of my knowledge) only really a valid test for Nvidia's newest OR for system stability/heat testing.

Term benchmark is "simple" that is, do quicker or less power etc then this other that set the "benchmark" unfortunately there are far too many ways for product A to do things in it's own way to make you think it is faster than product B even though it likely is not,

I wish there were some type of "to the metal" testing, this way here we the consumer and them the hard/software vendors would be able to tell right off the bat it ABSOLUTELY is quicker for such and such reasons (because the benchmark listed out the why and what for without relying on stupid tricks to "lie" about the performance etc.

There are 2 Mentalities of benchmarks
"to the metal"
"effective"

both are valid but used for diffretn purpose. i often see people not understading the diffrent

To the metal mentaliet

Testing intel 9900k vs AMD 3700x in a game at 640x480 resolutions
This test which CPU is the fastes in the given task
Lets say CPU X is 30% faster then it is most likely 30% when all teh cpu power is neededs

it good for technical knowledghe and peopel that can think for themsevels but its horrible as a bying advies

Meet "effective" mentality
Here we test them in well known used resolutions like 1440p and realide the diffrent between between the 2 cpu is now only 5%
Its not the CPU x is suddenly slower compared to the competitor it just that in this sitatuion the cpu is just not a big of an effect.
These kind of test are good for buying advise right here and now but they lack the proper raw numbers to tell estimate about the future





AMD vs intel bias is not a think in "effective" benchmarks because it doesn matter the CPU x is 100% faster, if it is not their effective due to game bias or optimization path.
To put it diffrentul. ALL and any benchmarks is important it just a question of how to proper understand and utilize the results
Put it a third way. if CPU come out ahead wit 10% even thoug its tecnhical slower due to better code optimisation. it still the better choices for that game/engine/software. Whatever

Ganboyisme just have to freaking die
 
Do you recommend a small footprint memory bandwidth/latency test util?
Instead of installing a monolith like Sandra, just perform quick tests.
Thanks.

I used to know a lot but I always found them very artificial. for more realworld application I tend to use 7-zip

I'll see if i can find someone more "metal" benchmarks for ram


Also:
Aded V-ray https://www.chaosgroup.com/vray/benchmark
Its requires creating an account ( did mine with aa tempmail account) but its free to download
