NovaBench 5.5.3

This is a lightweight and fast benchmarking program that allows you to comprehensively test your computer’s performance. It evaluates the performance of the processor, video card, memory, and storage devices, providing an overall performance score and detailed metrics. The utility is useful for diagnostics, upgrades, checking system stability after overclocking, and even comparing results with other devices. Unlike heavy packages, NovaBench launches in seconds and is suitable for both professionals and ordinary users. 

Key features

Comparison with 3DMark Professional and FurMark

  • NovaBench is a universal system benchmark that includes CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage. It is fast and easy to use.
  • 3DMark Professional provides in-depth graphics feature tests that are similar to gaming scenarios but do not evaluate the entire system.
  • FurMark is a tool for extreme GPU stress testing, creating a load higher than in real applications.

NovaBench is convenient for comprehensive reviews, 3DMark is for gaming tests, and FurMark is for checking the cooling system.

System requirements

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS Big Sur or newer, modern Linux distributions.
  • Architecture: x86-64 and ARM64 support.
  • CPU: multi-core processor for correct multi-threaded performance testing.
  • GPU: compatibility with Direct3D, Vulkan, or Metal for passing graphics tests.
  • RAM and disk: sufficient free space for memory tests and storage benchmarks.

Outcome

NovaBench is a modern, fast, and convenient system benchmarking tool that combines CPU benchmarking, GPU benchmarking, memory testing, and disk speed testing in a single package. Its strengths include simplicity, cross-platform compatibility, offline mode support, and the ability to compare results via a benchmark database.

The current version 5.5.3 makes NovaBench an even more accurate tool: a redesigned performance score, improved GPU benchmark, and real-time monitoring allow you to identify bottlenecks and monitor system stability. Unlike highly specialized solutions such as 3DMark Professional and FurMark, NovaBench remains a universal tool for PC diagnostics and optimization.

If you need a lightweight, reliable, and multifunctional tool for performance evaluation, NovaBench is an excellent choice for both enthusiasts and professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions about NovaBench
