Opinions on UserBenchmark

[farley]

Hi.

I've just found the UserBenchmark site, http://www.userbenchmark.com/ and i think it could be very helpful when building a new computer or considering upgrades to CPU, GPU, etc.

But i am not sure if these sorts of sites are generally inaccurate and misleading.

I found it interesting to benchmark my current computer and then change different components and see how that changed the scoring.

Wondering if anyone else has used the site, and if so, have found it to be accurate, bias free, and safe.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Bump

Just found this site again and wondering if anyone uses it or has comments about the site, good or bad.

I did use it to help me decide on my latest build and thought it helpful.

It is an single source with sythetic benchmarks - worth a look but only as one part of your due diligence.

Well Boo, it has served one purpose for me, by giving me the motivation to finally overclock my rig.

I had been putting it off, but now it's done, and definitely an improvement.
