How To BENCHMARK PC Games (1% and 0.1% Lows) - FULL Setup Tutorial

If you want to know what goes into benchmarking pc games and how you can test out titles for yourself then this is the full how to setup on how I benchmark games.

Software needed:
MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner (They come together in one download):
Heaven (not needed but recommended for testing and setting up and overclocking too):

I’m disappointed you did not spray WD40 on the test bench to make it go faster.

[MAKATEKTURE]

Sometimes... I swear you can read my mind... I've been meaning to research this topic for a week or two now. Thank you for the content! Keep it up!

OMFG i was trying to figure out the MSI Afterburner on screen display at a mates place the other day. Couldn't get it to work, now i know the unintuitive way you have to do it now. Thanks Brian.

i use the same system, i have a bc-1 bench table for my ryzen test bench and a lian li pitstop open test bench for my intel systems. i can send you my own screen display profile if you want a more in depth osd

used afterburner before but had no clue what I was doing, this was an excellent tutorial thankyou

[richardhutchings]

You benchmark with some Tech YES Loving!

[UrbanaticLemonade]

Brian huge respect for you for making this video.
I mean it.

Perfect for tuning RAM timings with Ryzen, Thank you.

Task Manager shows disc usage too Brian,
when I built my Ryzen PC I originally carried over my W7 7200rpm 3.5 drive for W10, It kept getting stuttering & using Task Manager saw the Disc Usage was hitting 100%, I have since put W10 on a 120gb SSD & no more 100% usage or stuttering, I never had that with W7 & FX6300

Tks so much for this video. I appreciate these kind of videos you put out!!

[Catalinddm]

God how much I wanted a video like this. Keep up the good work and content.

[HealMyTech]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have actually never ventured into benchmark for gaming and as a tech channel I'm way late into this but since my viewers want gaming content, it's time to take the plunge. And I love that you ended with a disclaimer to cross check numbers with yours, well done. You earned a new sub, and you will be hearing from me in the near future.

[unsivilaudio]

Thank you for doing this video. I literally was thinking about this an hour before your video popped up on my recommended feed.

This is really helpfull. Thanks and greetings from Germany.

[TechDunk]

Thank you so much!
I've been looking for this for a while!

[RedSoxFan]

Great video, didn't realize Afterburner came with Riva Tuner. Going to benchmark tonight for some comparison numbers myself

[bryantallen]

MSI and RivaTuner is the BEST for the TEST-ing.
I always had problems with getting the 1% and 0.1% lows to show up on the on screen statistics with MSI and RivaTuner. but now i know. Thanks for the details.
Another thing I wanted to know is about the Audio part of your testing, specifically REW and other audio software. The error i get in REW says i have no input devices when i do.

[Jomenaa]

This actually helped me since I'm doing my thesis about benchmarking (yes, really!). Gonna come back to this video to recheck stuff every now and then :D Thanks a bunch Bryan, u da man!

ps. been so neurotic for years about cpu/gpu/ram/vram usages that I have HWMonitor, Task Manager and Afterburned HW Monitor always open on my 2nd screen, I just like to check em every now and then while gaming to get that "peace of mind" :D

[antonschaf]

Really nice! Thank you for that Video, it helped a lot.

Def would like to see an overclock guide
