CINEBENCH Description
There are several ways to test the performance of your graphics card or your CPU, and the price you paid for them is not always the best proof that they are good products. You can rely on specialized software solutions to stress test a card so that a rating is given – such an application is CINEBENCH, a benchmark tool for assessing your PC’s graphic performance capabilities.
Compatible with the latest CPU models
It needs to be mentioned from the beginning that this tool can be used on a wide range of processors, both x86 and x64, so you do not need to worry that it might not run on yours, as long as you run Windows XP or later.
Start the test at the press of a button
CINEBENCH features a user-friendly interface which notifies you that you simply need to press a button in order to start a rendering test, be it an OpenGL or a CPU one. Depending on your hardware, the test might take several minutes to complete, and it is advisable not to use the computer too intensively during this time.
Compare your result with other products
Once the rendering process is finished, your CPU or graphic card (depending on the type of test you performed) is given a rating – and you can compare this value to the ones received by other users who have similar computers.
Perform custom test operations
In addition, CINEBENCH allows you to choose the number of render threads they want to use, if you are not pleased with the default application settings, as the software supports up to 64 processor threads.
In conclusion
All in all, CINEBENCH is a freeware application that can assess your PC and can help you decide when it is time to upgrade your CPU or your graphics card, if their performance levels are no longer satisfactory. The interface lets you quickly accommodate and comparison view lets you know what is a wise choice for an upgrade.
