Is that UserBenchmark score ok?

[SkyMembrane]

I just ran the Userbenchmark test and the results are in.

Here's what it told me http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/678838



Ok, ok, I have eyes. I saw the results, but... got to love a good lack of self-confidence 😛

Ran my 6600K on this benchmark, never used it before. Was just curious to see the difference between the 4690k and 6600k. Not really sure how to interpret the results, but looks like a good tool to to test changes to your system.

I wouldn't use it as a reference for something official, but it's a fun too to have when it comes to system testing. I was happy to see the difference though. Before that, I ran the test with the motherboard XMP profile @ 4.3Ghz Turbo. I then OC'd it to 4.6 myself and ran the test again. The difference was 84.2% to 105%, simply by setting things up properly. The GTX 970 results also impressed me, because I was unsure about EVGA before I made this build, but I won't be ever again!

For results analysing, 100% = ''best, most common component''

For CPU, it's the I7-4790k, I believe.
For GPU, it's the GTX980

I don't know the others.

So for example, you 6600k has performances about 10% higher than a stock I7-4790k used for reference. Your GTX 770 has performances at 60% of a stock 980.

I was happy to see that my overclocked GTX970 had performances very close to what is expected from a stock GTX980. Of course, knowing that my CPU was performing better than a stock 4790k made me happy I didn't pay the extra 100$ I originally planned on investing.

The way it calculates it is, IMO, slightly arbitrary, but it's a good test to take nonetheless.

For the percentile, it's how you compare with others who took the test with the same component. For example, you 6600k is performing better than 85% of the people who took the test with an i5-6600k. Your GTX 770, better than 36% of other users.

That's also why I was so happy, my GTX970 is in the top 1% of results and my I5 is in the top 5%. It's my first solo build, so knowing I did it right is a big weight off my shoulders, even if the results aren't 100% accurate.

I run a test suite called Overdrive, available on PCPitstop's website. It's kind of a sales pitch for their software, but it's a quick down and dirty way to gauge a systems relative performance to other similar systems. It can sometimes point out areas for improvements. I'll be saving this one for future reference too.
