Benchies

[Merlin]

My new setup is on the way from NewEgg and I was wondering how to test and record some Frame rate data etc. from this system so I can later compare what the tests show on my new setup. I know about CineBench 10 and Sandra but I don't know the others that are usefull nor do I know how to run the tests while playing Far Cry for example. Any help would be great.

p.s. I also have a Crysis demo I wanted to test out and Call of Duty 4 is coming with the setup so I can install and test it on this system before I switch to the new one.

SuperPi Mod1.5(to 1million places)
Everest has some good benchies too

Cant help you out with the games as I dont have them to know where the benchmark demo's are.

fraps is great, it has a built in benchmark utility that will record the fps of a game for a amount of time you detirmine and save it to a text file. if you get the full version you can also record in game videos with it

Doesn't Fraps have a limited in game clip utility in the free version?

I usually use

Sisoft Sandra
Fraps
3Dmarks2006
PcMark Vantage (6.95 for more than one run)
AquaMark
LightsMark
Super Pi

There are others but mostly I use those, if you happen to have Company of Heros it has a utility in it.

Fraps does include a video capture, and in vista you can even capture from the desktop, which is kinda odd. I got the free version a while ago, and for some reason it didn't have any of the "www.fraps.com" text in my videos like a previous version had. Almost like they had accidently released the full version on the website for free.

So Fraps is what you use to find the framerate during gameplay as they liste them here on Legit when they review a Vid card??
