Information
Well, these are a new set of benchmarks that focus on your computers overall performance, rather than simply graphics. They were released by Custom PC magazine, are used to test every PC they get.
The benchies stresses your CPU (all cores), RAM, Graphics card and chipset performance. They do this using the following tests:
The tests!
1. GIMP Image Editing:
Test simulates how well a PC can manipulate a collection of large digital photos before building a panorama. To achieve a high score requires a PC with a powerful CPU, plenty of quick memory and a fast hard disk drive.
2. H.264 Video Encoding:
Test uses Handbrake to encode a high resolution MPEG-2 video using the H.264 codec. This primarily tests CPU performance and, since the encoding application can take advantage of more than one CPU, multi-core processors get a significant boost.
3. Multitasking:
The multitasking test performs a massive file backup (with encryption) using 7Zip, while simultaneously playing back a HD movie file using mplayer, making it a seriously demanding test for any PC.
The Reference PC
All the scores are normalised against a reference PC. This scored 1,000, so a score of 1,300 is 30% faster than the reference PC. The reference PC consists of a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E6750, 2GB of Corsair XMS2-8500 DDR2, 250GB S-ATA II Samsung SpinPoint P120 hard disk and Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

Download the benchies from the following here
Simply install, set number of loops to 3 (to reduce anomalies in the results), and run. The tests take about 30-45mins overall, and at the end of each loop a score will be shown. Simply add all the scores together and take the average and post back here!
Post your scores here, and i will create a leaderboard! Don't cheat, as you will be found immediately! If this proves popular, maybe i'll sticky it!

I will start this off:
My PC: 1111 Points (10% faster than reference)
1. MatDef (main) (1112 points)
2. alex98uk (1111 points)
