About
Novabench is a free benchmark and network test suite for understanding how your system performs. Its benchmark tests cover CPU (multi- and single-threaded workloads), GPU (3D graphics, compute, and VRAM), memory transfer speed and latency, storage sequential and random I/O for SSDs, and NPU AI/ML accelerator performance. Results come with comparison reports that show where your system stands against similar hardware, plain-language explanations of each result, and suggested next steps.
Beyond benchmarking, Novabench includes a stress test to check system stability under full CPU and GPU load, a network test that measures speed, latency, jitter, packet loss, hop-by-hop traceroute, and DNS performance alongside Wi-Fi signal strength, and a monitor that tracks temperature, power, load, frequency, and battery health over time. Scheduled tests can help catch problems early.
