hey guys and welcome back to another
video so i hope you were able to
purchase your desired laptop
in the last sales now it's time to
benchmark and stress test your laptop if
you have watched my video on the dell
g515 special edition which where
which where i did some rigorous stress
tests and benchmarking
i did that because that laptop was quite
popular or you can say infamous
for its instability issues so after
doing stress tests and benchmarks i
could confirm
what the weaknesses were and what the
strong points were and i could also
confirm that the laptop
was completely stable also i showed you
how to control the temperatures on their
laptop
so the same thing applies to any laptop
or any you know pc you build
it is quite important to stress test and
benchmark your uh system
to know whether your system is stable
for example if you may if you have like
overclocked your gpu so you want to test
whether your gpu is stable after the
overclock
suppose you have undervolted your cpu so
you want to test whether your cpu is
stable
doing some benchmarks or overall like
you want to benchmark your system to
know that whether your system is
performing at its maximum possible state
whether your uh you know cpu is able to
maintain high boost clocks
or not whether you whether your laptop
is you know thermal throttling
so stress testing and benchmark
benchmarking is actually quite important
to know whether a system is working
perfectly or not
also you know benchmarking is just pure
fun like you can benchmark your system
and compare your system
in the scores of your system with your
friend system and compare between the
two
you can also join our discord server
where we have a special benchmark
section you can share your benchmarks
over there and you can compare with
other people also so
yeah so a lot of people wanted to know
how to stress test and how to set up the
benchmarks and stuff like that
so this video is exactly for those
people who want to you know stress test
your machine
they don't know how to set up the
benchmarks so here i'll show you in a
very simple and easy way how to set up
all the tools
how to uh you know do the benchmarks how
to record the you know benchmark logs
and stuff like that so without any
further ado let's get right into the
video
so firstly we need two monitoring
applications that is msi afterburner
and hardware info 64. so let's download
both of them
links to all the tools will be in the
[Music]
description
[Music]
now extract the afterburner zip and then
install it
make sure river tuner is selected as
this is basically the on-screen display
that shows the statistics
[Music]
then install hardware info 64.
it's a very simple installation just
like msi afterburner
[Music]
now let's set up msi afterburner for
monitoring purposes
[Music]
so here you can see that msi afterburner
can be used for tweaking your gpu
but i'm not gonna focus on that now uh
maybe in a later video
so now let's go to the settings here you
can see
what gpu one or gpu two is so that you
can choose the correct parameter to
monitor monitor
[Music]
now moving on to monitoring options here
you can choose all the various
parameters that you want to monitor
and want to show on your on-screen
display we are however mostly interested
in gp1
that is dedicated gpu which is an nvidia
gtx 1050 ti
in my case we want its memory and core
clocks
its usage percentage power draw
temperature
and we need the same for the cpu also
that is the cpu usage in percentage
core clocks for all the four cores i
have only four cores and eight threads
power draw and the temperature
[Music]
we also want our frame rates and memory
usage
there are other options like percentile
figures and we'll come back to it at the
end of the video when we will talk about
benchmarking games moving on to the
on-screen display here you can choose a
dedicated shortcut key to double the
onscreen display on
or off and i generally use the asterisk
key
just applying ok
[Music]
and as you can see here i am able to
toggle the on-screen display on or off
using the as risky
[Music]
next up hardware info 64.
so hardware info will show information
about most of the hardware out in your
system
from the cpu to the gpu to the ram
storage you name it and you got it
so we'll use hardware in to once again
monitor the same stats that we used
after burner 4 but hardware info
provides much more details so let's go
into the sensor section
here you can see all the details about
most of the motherboard components
so on the left pane you can see the
clock speeds of your cpu and on the
right pane you have information on cpu
package temperature
cpu package power draw you can also see
temperature
of each of the individual cores
separately
[Music]
scrolling down you can also see all the
information about your gpu
including the power drop of the gpu
now let's connect hardware info with
riva tuner statistics server aka our
on-screen display
so go to settings then osd here you can
choose whatever parameter you want to
add to your on-screen display
so i'm going to add cpu package
temperature cpu package power draw
and gpu power just select show value in
osd
and if you want you can show the label
in osd also
[Music]
and after selecting the parameters you
can just press ok and you're done and by
the way this clock icon is used to reset
the minimum maximum and average values
and it will start recollecting data the
moment you press it
[Music]
so now your monitoring tools are all set
up now for the benchmarking applications
number one cinebench r20 cinemanch is a
cross-platform test suite which tests a
computer's hardware capabilities
it can be used as a test for cinema 4ds
3d modeling animation motion graphic and
rendering performance
for multiple cores
number two ida 64 extreme this is
another cpu stress test application
mind you a trial will only last for 30
days after you have to purchase it
number three unigine heaven heaven
benchmark is a directx 11 gpu intensive
benchmark that hammers
graphics cards to its limits this
powerful tool can be effectively used to
determine the stability of a gpu under
extremely stressful conditions
as well as check the cooling system's
potential under maximum heat output
last but not least 3d mark times by demo
time spy is a fully direct x12 gpu
benchmark
that can push modern gpus to their
limits download the demo version from
steam
[Music]
so except cinebench all the other
vegematic applications are simple exe
installs for cinemas you need to extract
the file
and there inside that you will get the
executable so just wanted to show it
now all the monitoring tools have been
set up now it's just time to benchmark
so let's start with cinebench oh by the
way before that let me just switch my
benchmarking profile
uh i have lots of underworld profiles so
i have to switch to that
and let me just put my laptop to the
maximum fan speed
and also overclock the gpu right so do
this before you benchmark
now let's open cinebench
[Music]
so open cinebench and keep hardware info
open on the site
you don't want to close hardware info
because if you close hardware info you
cannot monitor these temperatures
so as you can see in hardware info you
can see all the details you want to see
the cpu package times package power core
clocks core temps
everything now go to advanced benchmark
where you can select single core or
multi-core stress test but i am more
interested
in multi-core and as soon as you start
the test
move over to hardware info 64 to check
the clock speed stems
power drain whatever you want
[Applause]
and as you can see
my intel core i5 8300h is already
throttling from the get-go
so yeah you can see the high
temperatures and
the clock speeds aren't as good
so monitor the performance and at the
end after the benchmark you will get a
score
[Music]
so i'm just gonna close the benchmark
and just after ending the benchmark you
can see the temperatures fall
immediately that's just the nature of
cpus and gpus
[Music]
now for ida 64 unfortunately i cannot
show you because my trial expired
but you can download and do the
benchmark yourself it's quite easy
now let's move on to unigine heaven so
this is our gpu benchmark
so you can choose your graphics settings
from this menu and then you can run the
benchmark
so this is my graphics setting for this
test so let's run it
and here you can see revit tuner is
showing all the stats that we selected
from msi afterburner
and hardware info so this test takes a
while to start
so now it has started
and you have to make sure that both the
applications are not terminated that is
hardware info and msi after burner
and you can also toggle the onscreen
display with the asterisk key remember
that
and clicking the benchmark option inside
this benchmark
will actually start the benchmark and it
will give you a score at the end
so yeah the benchmark will run for a
couple of minutes which will give you a
good
long term scenario of how your
temperatures behave how your clock
speeds behave
and what frame rate you can get and at
the end you'll get a score
[Music]
last but not the least one of the most
intensive
gpu benchmark that is 3d mark time spy
now there are other benchmark options
inside 3dmark
but you have to actually purchase them
so yeah you can see there are other
benchmarks like fire strike fire strike
extreme extreme and all
but for our purpose the demo is enough
so just hit the run button
and the benchmark will start it actually
starts with a demo
and it then follows up with two gpu
intensive scenes
and then on the physics test which is a
cpu intensive scene
and at the end which is the last scene
is a combined cpu and gpu test
and the river unit always takes its
sweet time to appear on 3d marks so
don't worry
you can also press the asterisk button
to make the
revert unit appear so i'm just pressing
it but it's not happening so yeah there
you go
now it happened
[Music]
so yeah at the end you'll get a score i
didn't get any score
because i did not complete the full
benchmark
[Music]
now at last i want to say this if you
want to
test worst case scenario you can try
running
cinebench r20 multicore and unigine
heaven at the same time
now this situation is a very unrealistic
situation where both
the cpu and the gpu will run at 100
utilization
putting maximum load on your cpus
on your system's cooling solution and as
you can see my intel core i5 quad core
is struggling to even start unigine
heaven
as my cpu is totally bottlenecked by you
know cinebench
so i just cut and move forward
[Music]
and here you can see the temps are
actually quite high obviously
and my cpu and gpu both are throttling
quite hard
once again this is a very unrealistic
scenario but this tests the
but this test represents the maximum
limit of your system's thermal design
[Music]
there you can see my previous and
software shows
100 utilization of the cpu and the gpu
and my gpu cannot reach the maximum core
clock
that it can reach that is over i think
1850
megahertz so it's throttling
so i'm gonna send the benchmark and end
the torture of my laptop
[Music]
so yeah that were that was all about the
benchmarks now let's move on to gaming
benchmarks
so there are certain games like this
particular rise of the tomb raider
shadow of the tomb raider far cry 5 then
gta 5
which have inbuilt scripted benchmark
scenes
this lets you use it as a reference to
tweak your settings to get the desired
fps
like for example here in rise of the
tomb raider you can see it has a
scripted event which
lets you choose the best settings for
the desired fps
but there are many games which don't
have inbuilt benchmarks so for that you
can what you can do is go back to msi
afterburner
and you can check the following options
frame time maximum frame rate
minimum frame rate average frame rate
one percent and 0.1 percent lows
that represent how smooth your gaming
experience actually is
[Music]
then go into the benchmark sections and
select two shortcut keys to begin and
end the benchmark session
i like to choose forward slash first to
start the benchmark and minus to end the
benchmark session
apply and ok now hop into the game
scene that you want to benchmark and as
soon as you start the action
press the forward slash button to start
the benchmark session as i'll do in a
minute
so i'll just start the game
[Music]
and as soon as it starts you can see i
have pressed forward slash and you can
see all the other stats have appeared
but my game play is quite choppy because
cpu bottleneck
and as soon as my session will end i'll
hit the minus button
to end the session
there you go i press the minus button
just as i enter the session now you can
go back to after burner
and then you can go into the settings
then benchmark
and over here you can press the view
option and there you can see all the
benchmark logs that you have done
so i have done a couple before and here
you can see all the stats the average
frame rate minimum maximum
one percent and point one percent low
and you can see my point one percent
lows are quite low
which means the gameplay was quite
sturdy which actually it was quite
struttery
[Music]
i hope now you know how to set up your
laptop for you know benchmarking and
stress testing
now you know what are the weakness and
your strengths of your laptop and now i
hope you will be able to also cope with
those weaknesses and strengths
and you know do all the tweaks that are
necessary to make your laptop perform at
its highest level
