Games with built-in benchmarks 2023: how to benchmark your PC

Gaming, News

These games include built-in benchmarks, making them useful for testing gaming PCs and laptops. This way, you can test how strong your PC is in a real game, getting results that are easily comparable between different machines running different hardware. Integrated benchmarks are also handy if you’re overclocking or adjusting game settings, as you can see how much of a difference your changes are making in a controlled environment.

For each game, we’ll list its year of release and a link to purchase it online at a discounted price. Tests that we’ve found particularly useful for testing are bolded, often because their benchmarks are particularly challenging or give more detailed results instead of a flat fps average.

If you found this list useful, consider buying your game via one of the links below to give us a few cents. This provides the funds we need to buy these games and test out their benchmarks. Thank you!

Also, if you spot a game that includes a built-in benchmark that isn’t on this list, please let us know in the comments below. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the list so far, with a special shout-out to reiichiroh on Reddit who has returned to suggest new benchmarkable titles for years!

        Not to sound as FF fan (which I’m not :) ), but I love testing any benchmark on my low end configuration and found out here is another FF benchmark: FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood, if you are interested: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/ it’s released on April 28, 2017.

        1. William Judd says:

          Sweet, added that one too :-)

  18. RodroG says:

    Hi, can be added to the list:
    – Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
    – Hitman 2 (Currently, standalone executable on game folder -run it with administrator privileges-).

    Thank you for keeping the list updated. :)

    1. William Judd says:

      Awesome stuff, thanks for contributing!

  19. Chris says:

    Also: “World in conflict”. Wich was always one of my favorit benchmarks.

    1. William Judd says:

      Good shout, thanks!

  20. SnakeHardware says:

    Far Cry New Dawn also got nice benchmarking tool

  21. Emmanuel says:

    Hello,

    Thank you for your website, much helpfull.

    By the way, I just found out that World War Z (Epic Game) has a built-in Benchmark.

    – Press F8 while on the game’s settings.

    Cheers

  22. Emmanuel Silva says:

    Hello,

    Thank you for your work.

    You may also add World War Z as you can get benchmark into game setting and pressing F8.

    Cheers

    Emmanuel

  23. alex says:

    World War Z has a nice built-in benchmark ;)

  24. J.H.Baek says:

    Please add ‘F1 2019’

  25. Martin says:

    Hello guys,
    I know about two old(er) games with benchmark
    UT2003
    Mafia II (e.g. https://youtu.be/jIYDVXmNalI)

  26. b0b says:

    For Forza Horizon 4, no need to own the full game as the Demo has also the bemchmark.

  27. shilka says:

    F.E.A.R from 2005 has a built in benchmark and it seems like its not on the list

  28. steve jones says:

    borderlands 3 has an in-built benchmark, as does Gears 5

  29. Lilly says:

    Final Fantasy XIV doesn’t have a “Stormbringers.” There’s Stormblood and then Shadowbringers.

  30. Gimpi says:

    u can add a note to Shadow of the Tomb Raider its also in the trial version and this is for free on steam

  31. apoppin says:

    Thank-you for keeping this list updated. Please add Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

  32. RN says:

    Which of these games allows you to loop the benchmark?

    1. William Judd says:

      Gears of War Ultimate, apparently. For non-games that allow looping, try Unigine or 3DMark. Of course, you could also just load up whatever game you wanted to play in singleplayer and leave it going!

    2. steve jones says:

      also F1 2019

    3. Alex Mach says:

      Resident Evil 6 Benchmark Tool from Steam loops. It takes a while after the score is displayed.

  33. steve jones says:

    also RDR2, has a 5-scene benchmrk with some data recrded in a log

  34. Fabio says:

    Red Dead Redemption 2

  35. apoppin says:

    Anno 1800 has a built-in benchmark that was recently added.

  36. Mark Poppin says:

    816MB stand-alone benchmark for Star Control: Origin released December 12, 2019

    https://www.stardock.com/games/starcontrol/benchmark#title

    1. William Judd says:

      Good stuff, thanks!

  37. Francesco says:

    Wolfenstein Youngblood has built-in benchmark.

  38. Emmanuel says:

    Hello,

    I think there is a mistake with Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

    There is no built-in benchmark included with the game, you can only show Performance Metrics like FRAPS or MSI After Burner..

    1. William Judd says:

      Here’s a screenshot of it in the Options menu:

      https://i.imgur.com/dH51XBJ.jpg

      And here’s the results screen:

    New Street Fighter V standalone benchmark:

    https://game.capcom.com/sfv/benchmark/us/

    1. Emmanuel says:

      Thanks !

  40. Disguise_AU says:

    Chernobylite also has an in-game benchmarking tool.

  41. Disguise_AU says:

    Chernobylite also has an in-game benchmarking tool.

  42. Hm, i hope that more developers will implement such benchmarks and will improve their games and engines based on this data.

  43. Hank says:

    Gears Tactics has a benchmark.

  44. Jethead says:

    Your list is missing many games from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/283p6x/games_with_benchmark_tools/
    Alan Wake, a couple of Batman games, Doom 3, Far Cry 2, Hard Reset, Mirror’s Edge, The Talos Principle, Thief, etc.

  45. J.H.Baek says:

    Please add ‘Gears Tactics ‘

  46. Hi William! Thank you very much for this list. If you have time, please add what APIs these games could run with their benchmark tools. The ability to group them by genre would be a nice addition too! Looking forward to try these games out! Again, thank you very much!

    1. William Judd says:

      I’ll consider this the next time I remake the list, thank you!

    2. Emmanuel S says:

      Very good idea indeed !

  47. Jefferson Michael says:

    Hitman 2016 It’s required to have the first episode
    Hitman 2019 It’s required to have Mumbai and Miami episodes

  48. snakey-kun says:

    is this list not getting updated anymore? such a pity. i thought “finally there’s someone with a full list list of games with benchmark built-in”.

    i don’t see Far Cry 2 or sniper elite series (v2, 3 and 4) in that list

    1. William Judd says:

      Shhhh, I’m busy! Updated, thanks for the suggestions.

  49. J.H. Baek says:

    TOTAL WAR SAGA “TROY”

  50. Luca says:

    Another set to add are the X3 games. The X3 Terran Conflict (2008), X3 Reunion (2005) and X2 (2003) The Threat have benchmarks in the rolling demos.

    1. William Judd says:

      Thanks! How do we access these?

  51. Roman Lukš says:

    I wasn’t able to find benchmark in Alan Wake, does it really have a benchmark?

    1. William Judd says:

      My only source for this is a Reddit thread, so may not actually exist and I don’t have the game to test. If you find it let me know!

  52. Dani says:

    How can I Benchmark Mirrors Edge from 2009? I am starting it via Steam, but I can’t find the benchmark option in game. Thanks for you help, it is appreciated.

    1. William Judd says:

      Check the install directory for an .exe? If you can’t find it, let me know and I’ll remove the game from the list, it’s not one I’ve had the chance to check personally :)

    2. Dennis98 says:

      You can’t really, but there is a possibility to automatically play a scene like in a benchmark by starting the game with the “-FlybyFlight” launch option. Mentioned here: https://techreport.com/review/16392/a-look-at-physx-in-mirrors-edge/

      This however won’t collect any information by its own and you need a third-party monitoring tool to display FPS or collect further information about the performance. A popular example would be the OSD from MSI Afterburner.

  53. J.H. Baek says:

    Serious Sam 4 has benchmark. MENU-EXTRAS

  54. Amanda says:

    I also can’t find the benchmarks for Alan Wake or Mirror’s Edge and also Natural Selection 2. It looks like that Reddit thread has bad data and can’t be relied on.

    For some reason Arkham Asylum had its benchmark removed when it was converted to use steam works instead of GFWL.

    Mafia II: Definitive Edition has a benchmark just like the classic version.

  55. Amanda says:

    And Remember Me is another one I can’t find the benchmark for.

    1. William Judd says:

      Removed, thank you!

  56. J.H. Baek says:

    Dirt 5 has in-game benchmark

  57. J.H. Baek says:

    Dude, make this list active in googledocs as a table, so we can update it regularly.

    1. William Judd says:

      Dude, I check these comments multiple times a week to add any missing entries. Feel free to contribute if you’d like!

        I can but it’s easier in a real table and almost required to add steps needed to successfully benchmark some titles that behave badly on some installations (for example Steam’s version of Crysis built-in benchmark won’t run if you don’t download the proper executables)

        This list offers some steps but it’s far from complete

        1. William Judd says:

          Yeah, that list is based on this one from what I understand :) Feel free to make a Google Doc with any additions you want to make, and I’ll implement them, OK?

    Serious Sam the first encounter (2001) contains built in demos that can be run as benchmarks. Probably applicable to the 2nd encounter also, as it used the same version of the engine.

  82. Patrick says:

    UT2003 has built in benchmarking capabilities; two sets of demos representing flybys and botmatches. The demo contains these also. The Unreal (1998) intro castle flyby is a built-in benchmark.The command to show fps must just be typed in the console or selected from the gui menu if available. Easy enough.

    Kena Bridge Of Spirits

    1. William Judd says:

      The info that I have is that this game doesn’t have a benchmark in the traditional sense – it sets the settings to your hardware but doesn’t show a game scene to do so. Here’s the relevant quote from OC3D.net.

      While Kena: Bridge of Spirit’s graphical options menu contains a “benchmark” tool, this tool isn’t a traditional benchmarking tool. It will not run players through a sequence of gameplay or other representative workloads. It will conduct a synthetic test and use results from that to select automatic graphics options. For most PC gamers, this tool is entirely useless. Players should treat this option like it does not exist.

      Has anything changed since this was written?

  84. Evo says:

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has a built in benchmark that you can access in the menu and runs through a scripted scenario. It’s a solid CPU benchmark as well.

  85. EVOTech says:

    Mount and Blade Bannerlord has a built in benchmark you can access from the menu. It runs through a scripted scenario. very good for testing CPU usage.

  86. fuegodebola says:

    Forspoken apparently has a built-in benchmark. Unfortunately the demo doesn’t.

  87. Miqi says:

    Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has one in its launcher

  88. francisc says:

    also F1 23 has a much more complex RT updated benchmark compared to the older F1 22

      Added, thank you!

  90. Steven says:

    Assassin’s Creed Mirage is probably the latest game to feature a built-in benchmarking tool.

      Added, thank you!
