Five Benchmarking Tools to Diagnose or Compare PC Performance

Brien Posey highlights five benchmarking utilities on the market for diagnosing or comparing PC performance.

Benchmarking tools are useful for diagnosing PC performance problems or quantifying a comparison between the performance of two machines. Given the usefulness of benchmarking software, it's no surprise that there are countless benchmarking utilities available on the market. Here are five such utilities.

1. Everest Ultimate Edition

Everest Ultimate Edition is more than just a performance benchmarking tool. This utility also provides a plethora of general information about your computer. The software offers detailed statistics about things like your operating system, motherboard, and storage. It can also perform benchmarking tests for your memory, CPU, and FPU. Everest Ultimate Edition even provides a number of established benchmarks (Figure A) so that you can see how your system stacks up.

Additionally, the utility provides a really nice reporting engine Figure  B  that you can use to view and export a variety of report types.

Everest Ultimate Edition sells for $39.95 (USD), but a free trial version is available for download.

2. SiSoftware Sandra

SiSoftware Sandra is a modular benchmarking and informational tool for the PC. It can be used on domain networks or standalone PCs. The software uses a collection of modules to evaluate hardware, software, and performance (Figure C). It's functionality can be further extended by adding additional modules.

The one thing that I found amusing about this particular application was its power consumption metrics. I ran SiSoftware Sandra on a virtual PC. As such, the software did not know how to accurately compute power consumption and therefore reported the virtual machine’s power consumption at 65,496.25 watts (Figure D).

SiSoftware Sandra sells for $49.99 (USD), but a free trial version is available for download. The software is also free for private or educational use.

3. PerformanceTest

PerformanceTest is yet another utility for compiling system information and benchmark performance testing. It's similar to Everest Ultimate Edition in that it provides a number of established benchmarks as a way of giving you a basis of comparison. When the testing results are displayed, your computer’s performance benchmarks are displayed in green alongside the established benchmarks (Figure E).

Perhaps the best feature of this utility is that you can run custom tests (Figure F). There's even an option to run scripted testing.

PerformanceTest sells for $26.00 (USD), but a free trial version is available for download.

4. Fraps

Fraps is really different from the other benchmarking utilities in this review. I chose to include it because Fraps is a utility that I personally use on a regular basis.

Fraps is designed to help you to benchmark the frame rate of DirectX applications. When playing a game for instance, Fraps displays a yellow number in the upper left corner of the window, indicating your current frame rate. This number dynamically adjusts as your frame rate changes.

The other really cool thing about Fraps is that it can record video and screen captures of DirectX applications (Figure H). Hardcore gamers sometimes use Fraps to make a movie of their game play so that they can upload it to YouTube or a similar video hosting service.

Fraps sells for $37.00 (USD), but a free trial version is available for download.

5. Fresh Diagnose

Like most of the other utilities that I have reviewed,  Fresh Diagnose is a tool for benchmarking performance and compiling system information. However, there are a couple of things that set Fresh Diagnose apart. The first thing that it's free!

The second thing that sets Fresh Diagnose apart is the level of detail that it provides. While many utilities provide information on CPU and disk architecture, Fresh Diagnose also provides granular operating system information. For example, the software provides information on fonts that are installed (Figure I), your system policies, and Windows Startup configuration.

The actual benchmarking capabilities are supposed to be available only to registered users (Figure J). However, a bug in the program allows non-registered users to launch benchmarks by using the Start command that’s located on the Benchmark menu.
