Catzilla Benchmark

[Bernice Ebesugawa]

Catzillais a quick, yet comprehensive benchmarking program that uses algorithms found in the latest PC video games, so users can see how their PCs will handle the most demanding videogames, HD movies and other graphically demanding applications.

In connection with the latest trends, Mega Cat returns expanded to test your computer's performance in 4K resolution.

In the latest version, we have drawn conclusions from several years of previous experience and conversations with users. The presentation of test results became more simple, which at the moment are easy to read not only by professionals but also by ordinary computer users.

ALLBenchmark Catzilla has a chance to set a new global standard for measuring computer performance. Catzilla may be the one of the two most popular benchmarks used by gamers around the world. Catzilla on Steam

Catzilla is distinguished by its impressive animation and recommendation system that allows to chose the best equipment for computer games. After the test, user receives a score and a badge indicating the power of his computer (one from 12 level certificate). This system will be especially useful for users not necessarily familiar with the technical details .

Another unique feature is to test the computer to answer the question: "if this game will run on my PC?"

To test your computer for its performance in relation to the game, or so to speak, if your game can run smoothly on your computer, select from the list the game and run the test.

The benchmark is geared toward the less tech-savvy among us. Rather than running the benchmarking and spitting out a text document, Catzilla scores your computer with a certain badge. The four badges (Kitty, Cat, Tiger and Catzilla) each have three stars. So the level after a three star tiger is a single star Catzilla. The benchmark will then have a list of games your computer can optimally run and recommend which parts of your system could use an update.

Even if you already love the hand-crafted process of bringing your system to its figurative knees, do yourself a favor and check out the embedded video. It's dumb, but it's the special kind of dumb that can turn the tables on the crappy start to your day. Just be sure to lower the volume if you aren't a fan of surprise dubstep drops.

It's a computer test focused to check your computer graphics capabilities. The test can analyze if your computer is suitable for latest games or watching HD movies in best quality. It can also suggest what hardware modules of your computer should be replaced in order to get best performance.

The installation of the program may take a few minutes and for the proper functioning of the program it is necessary to install DirectX and Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 runtime environment, which are available in the installer. After installation is complete, you can run the program and start testing.

Clicking SUBMIT RESULTS for the first time will redirect you to the registration page. In there, after filling up the required fields (you can also register using a social network account such as Facebook) and activating your account, you can log on to the www.allbenchmark.com/en to view your profile.

Copy the unique code you can see in your profile, and then paste it to the UPGRADE tab of the program. After entering the code, you can send the results to your account from the RESULTS tab of the program by clicking SUBMIT RESULTS.

EVGA and the developers at Catzilla have put together a special EVGA version, that is available for FREE! The free version allows you to run the 720P test and compare it with others. Higher resolutions are available in the basic and advanced versions, and upgradable from within the benchmark. Download it below.

Benchmarking tools are essential to any serious gamer looking to eek out the last bit of performance out of their machine, or want to test to see what they can upgrade. ALLBenchmark provides an affordable and easy way of doing that, with Catzilla.

For any effective testing, the Free and Basic Editions of Catzilla will not suffice due to not allowing testing for resolutions above 720p. The Advanced Edition is the way to go, and probably by design. Combined with tools of learning more about your PC and the recommendation engine to suggest what needs upgrading, is really a standout feature. In comparison to other benchmarks, Catzilla is an affordable, bite-sized way of testing your PC without damaging or breaking it.

Dancop is a German overclocker who is currently number one in the worldwide overclocker ranking on HWBOT. Once again Dancop managed to clinch more Global First Places, this time three with the ROG Rampage V Extreme and Strix GTX 980 Ti in the categories Catzilla 720P 1xGPU, Catzilla 1440P 1xGPU and HWBOT Prime 8xCores. He also achieved the highest score for the new benchmark launched by HWBOT called HWBOT x265 1080P.

Dancop bought 15 pieces of the Intel i7 5960X CPUs since the launch of the X99 platform in August 2014, before finding the one that can go up to 6.2GHz in the HWBot Prime benchmark - no Haswell-E CPU has ever made it this far in this benchmark.

The scores in Catzilla 720P and 1440P were easily obtained thanks to the Rampage V Extreme and the Strix GTX 980 Ti. For the benchmark Catzilla 720P, he only used 6 liters of LN2, and 15 liters for the global first place in Catzilla 1440P. However, for the benchmark HWBOT Prime 8xCores, it was not as easy. It took two hours of benching, a hundred reboots and 20 liters of LN2. Often he got the score he wanted but the pc would freeze just before he was able to get the screenshot. In the end, the preparation, cooling of the system, heating up, booting, rebooting took hours of benching and 90L of LN2. The effort and determination was not in vain!

"At the moment we have no dedicated video encoding benchmark on HWBOT. So I thought it would be nice to create one. There are plenty of video encoders available on the internet and benchmark applications for most of them already exists. I don't like reinventing the wheel... :) Therefore I picked the most modern encoder - H265/HEVC.

Only one benchmark exists (that I know of) and it isn't really suitable for our needs. -hd-benchmark/ My benchmark is working the same way, but GUI is used instead of a command line interface. I also added some tweaks and options to get the best possible score on most computers, even very extreme ones. :)

HWBOT x265 Benchmark is based on the open source x265 encoder. It can take advantage of modern CPU instructions sets and multi-thread support is also very good. However this benchmark is also capable of running even on as old processors as Athlon XP (maybe Pentium III as well). Of course on legacy hardware the encoding time is rather long. There are two presets available - 1080p and 4k. The main goal of both of them is to convert H.264 source video to H.265/HEVC and measure average frames per second." - Havli from Czech Republic

Catzilla is a benchmarking program which uses algorithms found in latest PC video games. This allows you to see how your computer will handle the most demanding videogames, HD movies and other graphically demanding applications. The present version comes with support for latest video cards.

In terms of the benchmark demo, it is quite impressive as you see this giant cat walk through this fictitious virtual city causing chaos with some great tech music playing in the background that actually suits the story. This bechmark targets the following graphical elements of your PC that include Software (e.g. drive updates), Hardware (GPU+CPU), Physics Test (CPU), Fur Test (GPU), Fluid Test (GPU) and Raymarch Test (GPU). Another highlight of Catzilla is that you can run test configurations for other games such as Crysis 3 or Batman Arkham City which tests how your PC would work in this gaming environment.

Catzilla by ALLBENCHMARK is a very intuitive benchmarking program that I hope the gaming and overclocking world will embrace. The free version of the program allows you to test up to 720p on your system but you will need to pay additional if you wish to go higher and access some of the other features. Overall, Catzilla is a great bechmarking program that we could happily recommend to the world of gamers and overclockers!

The main idea of the project was to develop an antithesis of other benchmark productions which are mostly boring and aesthetically weak. Micha? Staniszewski from the demoscene Plastic group came to us with a draft of an interesting, action-filled story with a unique design and aesthetics that would be as close as possible to an animated movie on one hand and to a video game on the other.

I ran the file logging tool of GPU-Z. During the last Catzilla benchmark (during which a large number of spikes occured) there are "power downs" in the column "VDDC Current (A)", i.e. the values look like this:

The temporal resolution is 0.1s, so each line is a tenth of a second. Is this normal - maybe during a black screen or something? Also the values in this column highly oscillate over the course of about 2-3s. Maybe a power thing? But what would I check to confirm this - switch out the motherboard or the PSU?

...Okay, this is weird. When the system is cold (first benchmark run after a long pause), the lagging disappears, but after getting warm (second benchmark run in rapid succession), the lagging starts and the overall performance drops.When cold the graphics card sensor gives me 40 degr. C, the CPU 64 degr. C. The CPU doesn't change so much (goes up to about 70 under full stress), but when the GPU reaches 65-70 degr. C, the problems occur.But then again... I switched the graphics cards with an NVIDIA - and also I suppose that those are still temperatures that they can handle. Maybe it's the motherboard warming up or something? Is that a thing? Northbridge?
