Testing

Benchmarking

To test all systems, processors, and motherboards, Hi Tech Legion has compiled a list of popular programs to test performance; these benchmarks are taken from programs that are available to the public. We have compiled these to create the Hi Tech Legion Benchmark Suite, which includes system, graphics, processor, rendering, compression, and word processing. All scores will be graphed for each specific test under its category: video benchmarks (gaming will be rated in FPS: Frames per second), System scores will be graded by numbers which are given as results by their respective programs, higher will be better unless otherwise specified. If file compression is chosen, all times will be in seconds. All temperatures will be measured in Celsius.

Systems

The systems tested will be two from Intel, the Core I7 920 X4 and the Core i7 965 Extreme, and one from AMD, the Phenom II 955 X4..
