我最近购买了我的第一台定制游戏 PC，拿到它后我想检查的第一件事是它与其他游戏系统的基准测试效果如何。我开始搜索和测试一堆适用于Windows的基准程序，但很快意识到只有少数是好的。
在本文中，我将介绍三个我最喜欢的基准测试程序以及如何使用它们。我不会在本文中详细介绍如何提高你的分数，因为这是一个完全不同的话题，但是，这是你绝对应该研究的东西。当我对我的游戏 PC 进行基准测试时，它排在第 43 个百分位，这对我来说非常可悲。
在调整了BIOS中与XMP、超频等相关的一些设置后，我将它一直提升到了 76 个百分位！因此，调整您的硬件设置可以大大提高您的基准分数。下面显示的分数来自非游戏 PC，因为我在撰写本文时没有可用的游戏桌面。
NovaBench
Novabench是一个小型基准测试程序，可让您在几分钟内对您的 PC 进行基准测试。我喜欢它，因为它非常易于使用，并且可以为您提供简单易懂的结果。下载后，继续安装它。
运行程序，然后单击Start Tests。他们还有一个售价 19 美元的Pro版本，可以让你随时间跟踪温度等，但除非你是核心 PC 爱好者，否则真的不需要。
它执行六项测试，根据系统的速度可能需要一分钟到几分钟不等。
结果窗口将为您提供 Novabench 分数，除非您在升级硬件、超频等之前和之后多次对 PC 进行基准测试，否则它本身并没有多大意义。如果您单击查看性能图表和比较( View Performance Charts and Comparisons)按钮在底部，它将加载一个网页，您可以在其中获取百分位数。
此外，您可以单击最顶部的分数和统计数据，它将显示从最高到最低记录的所有分数。(Scores & Stats)这是一个很好的方法来了解您与Novabench软件基准测试的最快和最好的计算机之间的差距。
用户基准
另一个非常好的程序和网站是UserBenchmark。只需下载软件(download the software)并运行EXE文件即可开始测试。我喜欢UserBenchmark的地方在于它甚至不需要任何安装。
只需单击“运行”(Run)即可开始测试。这将需要几分钟，然后结果将显示在新的浏览器窗口中。
您将看到游戏(Gaming)、台式机(Desktop)和工作站(Workstation)性能的得分。如果您进一步向下滚动，您还将获得总体百分位分数和特定组件的百分位分数。
值得注意的是，总体百分位数仅针对具有相同组件的其他计算机。在使用其软件进行基准测试的所有计算机中，上述基准测试的 PC 不在第 72 个百分位。因此，上面的 PC 在具有相同组件的所有计算机中位于第 72 个百分位。
未来标记 3DMark
最后，如果您真的想对高端游戏机进行适当的苛刻测试，您应该使用的另一个是 Futuremark 的3DMark 基准(3DMark benchmar)k。基本版是免费的，包括四个免费的基准测试。
我只建议在实际的游戏或高性能工作站上运行这个，因为下载量高达 3 GB！大多数情况下，它只是用于播放用于测试的高分辨率图形的大文件，但它会占用大量空间。当然，您可以运行基准测试然后将其卸载以获取空间。
安装 3DMark 并运行后，您会看到它首先加载了Time Spy基准。只需(Just)单击运行(Run)即可开始基准测试。此基准测试花费的时间最长，因为它是三个测试中要求最高的测试。
完成后，您将获得一个分数，除非您将其与其他结果进行比较，否则它并不能说明太多。单击(Click)“在线比较结果”(Compare Result Online)按钮以查看您的百分分数。
如您所见，这台旧电脑只比所有结果的 4% 好！我的游戏 PC 优于所有结果的 91%。就是这样。希望(Hopefully)这些基准测试能够让您更好地了解您的 PC 的整体性能以及与具有相同组件的其他计算机相比的性能。享受！
3 Free Tools to Benchmark a Windows Gaming PC
I recently bought my first custom gamіng PC and the first thing I wanted to check after I got it was how well it benchmarked against other gaming systеms. I started searching and testіng оut a bunch of benchmark programs for Windowѕ, but realized quickly that only a fеw were good.
In this article, I’m going to write about three of my favorite benchmark programs and how to use them. I’m not going to go into any details about how to improve your score in this article as that’s a completely different topic, however, it’s something you should definitely research. When I benchmarked my gaming PC, it was ranking in the 43rd percentile, which was pretty pathetic for me.
After tweaking some settings in the BIOS related to XMP, overclocking, etc., I got it all the way up to the 76th percentile! So tweaking your hardware settings can make a big difference in your benchmark score. The scores shown below are from a non-gaming PC as I didn’t have my gaming desktop available when writing this article.
NovaBench
Novabench is a small benchmark program that lets you benchmark your PC in just a few minutes. I like it because it’s very easy to use and it gives you simple easy-to-understand results. Once you download it, go ahead and install it.
Run the program and then click on Start Tests. They also have a Pro version for $19 that lets you track the temperature over time, etc., but it’s really not needed unless you are a hardcore PC enthusiast.
It performs six tests, which can take anywhere from a minute to a few minutes depending on the speed of your system.
The results window will give you a Novabench score, which doesn’t mean much on its own unless you are benchmarking your PC several times before and after upgrading the hardware, overclocking, etc. If you click on the View Performance Charts and Comparisons button at the bottom, it will load a web page where you can get your percentile.
In addition, you can click on Scores & Stats at the very top, which will show you all scores recorded from highest to lowest. This is a good way to see how far you are from the fastest and best computer that has been benchmarked by the Novabench software.
UserBenchmark
Another really good program and website is UserBenchmark. Just download the software and run the EXE file to start the test. What I like about UserBenchmark is that it doesn’t even require any installation.
Simply click on Run to start the tests. It will take a few minutes and then the results will be displayed in a new browser window.
You’ll see a score for Gaming, Desktop and Workstation performance. If you scroll further down, you’ll also get an overall percentile score and a component-specific percentile score.
It’s worth noting that the overall percentile score is only against other computers with the same components. The PC benchmarked above is not in the 72nd percentile out of all computers benchmarked using their software. So the PC above is in the 72nd percentile out of all computers with the same components.
FutureMark 3DMark
Finally, the other one you should use if you are really wanting to get a proper demanding test done for a high-end gaming machine is Futuremark’s 3DMark benchmark. The basic edition is free and includes four free benchmarking tests.
I only suggest running this one on an actual gaming or high-performance workstation because the download is a whopping 3 GB! Mostly it’s just large files for playing back high-resolution graphics for testing, but it eats up a lot of space. Of course, you can run the benchmark and then uninstall it to get the space back.
After installing 3DMark and running it, you will see that it loads the Time Spy benchmark first. Just click Run to start the benchmark. This benchmarks takes the longest because it is the most demanding test out of the three.
When it’s finished, you’ll get a score, which doesn’t tell much until you compare it with other results. Click on the Compare Result Online button to see what your percentile score is.
As you can see, this old computer is only better than 4% of all results! My gaming PC was better than 91% of all results. That’s about it. Hopefully, these benchmarks will give you a good idea of how well your PC is performing overall and compared to others with the same components. Enjoy!
