What are good tools to benchmark a system? Obviously there are programs like Heaven, 3Dmark etc and the in-game like Dirt2, Just Cause 2 etc. But what are the essential tools to use? Preferably free! :)
 
mostly what i do is to test stability...don't really care for the benchmarks myself. i just use OCCT to test then go back to playing some starcrack 2
 
If you want something really simple, just use the Windows Experience Index.

[Vista] control panel -> performance Information & tools
 
I have always used the lost planet benchmark, it is free and it does a good job of stressing the system. The first run is really gpu dependant and the second one is very cpu dependant

Sometimes when I run OCCT the animation doesn't move. My on screen display shows the framerate, my cards at full load, etc. but the picture is just still. Anyone knwo what that's about?
