How Fast Is It? Half-Life 2 Benchmark When I built My Super PC, I ran a number of speed tests to check out every component and to verify it is running as fast as it should. I describe what tests I ran and how to interpret the results in detail on pages near the end of my assembly instructions. These are important tests to be sure, but that’s as far as they go – they only confirm that it is running as fast as it should. So how well does it handle actual real-world tasks?

There’s no doubt that My Super PC handles the casual tasks of computer use with ease, such as word processing and broadband internet surfing. The meaningful measurements are how well it holds up when performing the most demanding software applications, namely games with a ton of graphics, animations and particle effects.

For any game to be playable, smooth and responsive, it needs to achieve a frames-per-second (FPS) of at least 30. The FPS is the rate at which the game is updating screen. This figure is a little higher than the 24 frames-per-second used for movies. Computer games need a higher rate since they don’t get the blurring effect that helps blend movie frame images.

Memory vendors have become excellent at marketing their latest high-end products: DDR3-2000 speeds are currently considered state of the art for enthusiast Intel platforms based on Intel’s P35, X38, X48 chipsets or the new Nvidia 7 series. But how much sense do these products really make? While mainstream DDR2 memory has reached almost ridiculously low price levels – you can get two 2 GB DDR2-800 DIMMs for less than $80 – DDR3 memory at 1600 speed or faster easily costs five times as much, without delivering even double the performance. In fact, for the vast majority of users, the difference between mainstream and high-end memory turns out to be extremely small.

Increase the Speed of Your Internet Connection

Does your ISP deliver the speed you pay for? It’s rather easy to test your broadband internet speed. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one, ISPs usually promise an “up to” speed, so you can’t expect top performance at all times, that’s part of the deal. During high traffic times your ISP will suffer from high loads and will certainly not be able to deliver the maximum speed. Thus you’d best perform different speed tests at different time points, to see whether you ever reach the top speed. Also, when running a speed test, make sure no other applications are using the internet, else the result will not be accurate.

Speedtest.net is a good place to test your internet speed. They operate through servers all over the world, so you can connect to a server near you, which increases the accuracy of your result.
