Novabench tests are designed to produce consistent, repeatable results that reflect real-world performance. Each benchmark workload targets a specific component - CPU integer and floating point, GPU compute and 3D rendering, memory bandwidth and latency, storage read and write - using operations that mirror how modern software actually uses hardware. Scores are normalized and validated against reference hardware to ensure comparability across different systems and configurations. To get the most accurate results, close other applications before testing. Novabench will flag common issues that c

Novabench is designed to give you a complete picture of your system in one tool. Where most benchmark utilities focus on a single component or a single type of test, Novabench covers CPU, GPU, memory, storage, NPU, network speed, stress testing, and sensor monitoring in a single application. Tests run in minutes rather than hours, and results include plain-language explanations alongside the numbers. The comparison database with millions of results means you get immediate context - not just a score, but an understanding of where your system stands. Novabench is also cross-platform, so you can

Yes. Novabench includes real-time sensor monitoring that tracks temperatures, power draw, fan speeds, and battery health. You can view live readings as well as historical charts that show how these values change over time - useful for spotting trends like gradual battery degradation, intermittent thermal throttling, or cooling problems under specific workloads. Sensor logging runs in the background and stores data locally, so you have a record of system health even when you are not actively benchmarking. Detailed historical logging and extended retention are available in Plus and Pro.
