wobndering what a good benchmark would be as i am tryin to increase performance in a game that is bound by the cpu. guild wars 2 is very cpu intensive and i want to try overclocking a few things as i think some performace in the paticuler game i play since its so cpu bound i think could possably benifit from XMP memory profile @3200 tighter timmings or overclocked to 3466mhz.

my signature is correct i7 8700k although i dont have it overclocked yet, as i am wondering about what software should i use for testing the performance impact of my overclocks
 

Why,are you looking for fractions of FPS or something?
Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is cool for testing since it changes stuff in real time and you can even use profiles so it overclocks only on the software you want it to.
