Multi Benchmarking


In this video I compare how a benchmark performs when it is tested alone and when it's running with another benchmark at the same time.

All hardware reviews test 1 benchmark at a time, that is good and informative, however I also think it is interesting to see how a machine can perform when running 2 benchmarks together.

In this test I first ran the 2 benchmarks alone and check compare the results to when I run them both together.
In this video I test Counter-Strike Source (2004) and Crysis (2007) benchmarks, both games at high quality patched to their latest version.

Note that the active window game works better than the game running in the background, I tested this with CSS as the active window and Crysis ran at 1 FPS so in this video Crysis is the active window.

Test system:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Stock speed
GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 285 stock speed
MOBO: Intel DX58SO Smackover
RAM: 6GB G SKILL Triple channel DDR3
OS: Windows Vista 64 BIT
