GPU Benchmark: 3DMark, Unigine Heaven


Disk Benchmark: CrystalDiskMark, HD Tune



🔹 Software Benchmarks


Measures application speed and efficiency.

✔ Examples:


Browser Benchmark: JetStream, Speedometer


Database Benchmark: TPC-C (for SQL databases)



🔹 Gaming Benchmarks


Measures frame rates (FPS) and graphics performance in games.

✔ Examples:


Built-in game benchmarks (Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V)


3DMark for DirectX performance



🔹 Network Benchmarks


Measures internet speed and network performance.

✔ Examples:


Speedtest.net (for internet speed)


iPerf (for network throughput)
