[QUOTE="plat, post: 864074, member: 74969"] Yes, I've used this on occasion. You have to take care that your system is truly idle with minimal cpu usage, otherwise the results aren't strictly valid. Luckily, there's a high cpu use indicator on the interface. There was some flak toward UserBenchmark almost a year ago, which is still ongoing, and that is/was its apparent bias toward Intel cpus and its scores weighted favorably toward Intel. Without directly acknowledging this, UB did re-do its algorithms toward this end. But I don't have as much trust in the final result as I do with other benchmarking software. I prefer [URL='https://www.passmark.com']Passmark [/URL]for informal benchmarking and [URL='https://www.maxon.net/en-us/products/cinebench-r20-overview/']Cinebench[/URL] for cpu specifically. It's kind of a bummer to see yourself slide toward a lower rung via UserBenchmark, too bad they have this kind of rating system. At least my poor machine is not yet at the Surfboard level. At that point, I suppose I'll take a hammer to my piggy bank and see what's out there. [/QUOTE]
