Best (free) PC performance test program

[dumpystig]

Not sure if this is the right section for this thread so if I'm in the wrong place just let me know and I will move it.

I recently purchased a used HP Workstation with the intention of installing some major upgrades. Today I picked up 2x CPUs and a brand new graphics card. These are all superior to the ones already installed so I want to carry out a before-and-after performance test/benchmark with the machine as it is now and then after each item is installed.

So I want a good, free program that will help me do these tests, preferably one that somebody has used themselves recently.

Thanks

There trial/basic version available for most benchmarks for free. PCMark, 3DMark, AIDA... have a look at what hardware sites use.

Be sure to enable 'Rankings' and you may compare both your rigs to others around the globe ... nice display options, charts/graphs, and a complete array of benchmarking tools.
