Last week, I found myself with three evaluation machines and no way to compare their performance out of the box. Oh, dear.
I could have used Sysmark or 3DMark. However, there are problems with these:
- They cost money
- They lack a fine level of control over what I could make them do
- They cost money
I needed something quick and dirty. So I wrote Seat Graffiti. It’s a little piece of software, written in C, which does some basic benchmarking tests. And, just because I’m kind, it’s open-source and in the public domain.
Here’s its webpage. I’ll update it with new releases when I can be bothered, which probably won’t be very often. And there’s several caveats and missing features, but at least it’s free.
