testing, and monitoring software that include MemTest86 (for RAM testing), MonitorTest, BatteryMon, KeyboardTest, etc. For PC and Graphics Card benchmarking you have to download thePerformaceTestfrom the PassMark website.
Our GPU benchmarks hierarchy uses performance testing to rank all the current and previous generation graphics cards, showing how old and new GPUs stack up.
For each graphics card, we follow the same testing procedure. We run one pass of each benchmark to "warm up" the GPU after launching the game, then run at least two passes at each setting/resolution combination. If the two runs are basically identical (within 0.5% or less difference), ...
A method for testing graphics cards is provided. The method utilizes a principle that when an operating system operates under a kernel layer, a CPU of the computer has privileges to execute any instructions, thus, able to perform privileged functions of a graphics card, thereby testing hardware ...
Disclaimer: While overclocking is typically very safe, it will likely increase the temperature of your card, and may cause instability and crashes during the testing process. As long as you don’t leave your card at unstable settings, you shouldn’t have to worry too much — your card has ...

After you’ve tested for stability and thermals, you can take your benchmarking degree up to a doctorate by testing performance. Here we’ll use thepopular 3DMark benchmarking suite, which includes some free modes. Time Spy (which tests DirectX 12 graphics performance) and Port Royal (ray tra...
Black Friday is over but the deals are still flowing, so if you're looking for a new GPU upgrade, here are all the best graphics card deals right now.
Disclaimer: Like overclocking, undervolting is typically very safe, but it may cause instability and crashes during the testing process. As long as you don’t leave your card at unstable settings, you shouldn’t have to worry too much — your card has many built-in protection...
unit (GPU) is properly seated in its slot and that the system has adequate cooling. Monitor temperatures to prevent overheating, which can cause performance degradation. If problems persist, consider testing the GPU in another system or consulting online forums for community-based troubleshooting ...
