Find out how horribly slow and unoptimized your PC is using totally non-relevant benchmarking tools! Brag to all your friends about your Big Number Score! Cause your PC to catch fire and asplode!
Note: Several games have built in benchmarking tools. Some off the top of my head that have them: Metro 2033, Aliens vs Predator, Just Cause 2, Crysis series, Batman AA and AC, GTA 4, NBA 2K series.
FREE Benchmarking Tools:
