Choosing benchamarks
Total War is perhaps the best example of a CPU-intensive title from our testing suite. It’s a game we choose specifically because it stresses the processor during regular benchmarking.
For most of our testing, we typically have a set list of benchmarks designed around being run on systems with dedicated GPUs. Most of the time, that involves running X game at Y resolution – usually on the highest graphical settings profile the game comes with as default. That way, it makes it easy for you at home to replicate those same tests with your own
