Favourite Benchmark

[WYP]

What are your favourite games or tools for benchmarking?

I thought it would be a good idea to make this thread and then list here what tools everyone likes to use for benchmarking different parts of their system.

This thread may be a great opportunity for some of us to find out about new tools and games that are good for benchmarking, or for newcomers to find some good places to start.

Is Cinebench bad for GPU benching or something?

Added. I'm not going to do all the work on this list . I'm hoping that some people can mention some lesser-known benchmarks or something.

Interesting thread Mark and I agree it would be nice to know some of the lesser-known benchmarks

Alien Versus Predator stand alone benchmark as I love seeing the stupendously high frames.

That benchmark brings back memories. haven't used that one in a long long time.

Shadow of Mordor has a good in-game benchmarking tool, so did Attila Total war.

Tessmark is actually a great tool for comparing the tesselation performance of GPUs. you'd be amazed how much better tesselation performance is compared to the early days.

On the topic of lesser known benchmarks I just realised that there is an official F@H benchmark tool.

I made a thread where we can share results here.
