You can download all the benchmarking apps below by clicking this link http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=6 or by Clicking Here
or for the 3DMark benchmarks, you can also download them from Here
You can also download Shader Mark V2.1 from Here, make sure you download Biuld 129 Download aswell.

1. 3DMark 2005
2. 3DMark 2003
3. 3DMark 2001
4. Aquamark 3
5. Gunmetal Benchmark DX9
6. FarCry bench (if you have farcry)
7. HL2 Bench (if you have HL2)
About the Benchmarking Software:
1-3: 3DMark:
3DMark is one of the most common benchmarking applications which tests how a PC handles exremely demanding graphics. It incorperates alot of new technologies and tries to simulate what future games will be like by using outstanding graphics and visual effects.
4: Aquamark 3:
Aquamark 3 is also a highly used benchmarking application. It uses alot of different technologies to test PC's like 3DMark. While the graphics aren't as good as 3DMark 2005, the application still tests PC's extremely well.
5: Gunmetal Benchmark DX9 Version:
This benchmarking app isn't as well known as the rest of the benchmarks i've mentioned so far. It has fairly long tests (as i recall) and tests quite well. As i do not have much experience with this app i cannot say to much more.
6-7: FarCry & HL2 Benchmarks:
These 2 apps run custom tests in the 2 games, FarCry and Half Life 2. These simply run the game through a demo mode and record the FPS and at the end give you a score (or FPS).
More Info:
Run the game tests at 1024x1280 on full AA & AF and maximum detail Run Demo4 on HL2 and Run Demo 4 and with FarCry Run the Demo called "PC Games Hardware Demo". For the Setting. Settings 1: 1280x1024 Resolution on Ultra Details. Settings 2: Leave Model Shader on Defualt and put AA & AF on there highest (AA=8, AF=16). For Settings 3: Leave Renderer as Direct3D and Run the demo once. You do not have to change anything else. Your results for HL2 and FarCry will pop-up after the test as a HTML file so take a screenshot of it. If you close the HTML File by accident, you can find it by going to the general tab in the FarCry Benchmark app and seeing the directory to which it saves the results. Please use V1.3 of FarCry if you cent then it doesn't matter but please post saying what version you where using
All 3DMark tests to be run on defualt. Any Version of 3DMark is allowed including 3DMark 2001 SE.
Aquamark to be run on "Very High Detail Preset".
For shader mark leave as system defualts and make sure the res is set to 1024x768, then click run. Once in the run mode, you have to press P to run the benchmark to get your results once the benchmark has ended, you must go into the directory to where you installed it and you should see a excel file and txt file (both contain the same info). Please add up the average FPS and post with your results. No Screenshots are required since you can easily change the values. Please don't change the results. The Shader Mark test does not go towardsyour rank, it's for reference only so please don't cheat.
In The Gun Metal Benchmark 2, leave the settings as defualt and run benchmark 1 and 2. If you are stuck for time then please do benchmark 1 atleast. Also if you cant take a screenshot in GunMetal, then please zip the html files and attach the zipped html docs to your post (which are founf in the install directory). PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THE HTML FILES. If i find out i will tell the community and admin so your time on here will be an unhappy one (no cheating).
You do not have to do all the tests, but the more the better. If your serious all tests are recommended (Shader Mark is for reference only and wont go towards rank).
Please if you have questions PM Me.
Please only post in here once with your screenshots or twice if you can't fit all the screenshots in the one post.
Please play fairly...
WARNING!!!
It's alright to send in benchmarks with overclocked systems.
Just no editng screenshots or html files. Also, no mipmapping or forcing reduced graphics quality.
If I find that someones been cheating, i will be telling the community and admin. It will make your time on overclock.net very uncomfortable!!!
Thankyou and...
Any other questions or anything you think i should add in this thread please don't hesitate to PM me or email at "[email protected]".
DON'T BE TO STRESSED BUT TRY AND GET YOUR RESULTS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT IF YOU CANT DONT WORRY BECAUSE THIS COMP WILL BE GOING FOR A WHILE.
