Key Features

System benchmarks
It tests the core components of your computer - CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and NPU - using workloads designed for modern hardware.
Benchmark scores
Run a complete benchmark and get a clear picture of your system's performance, with test methodologies designed for modern hardware. Each test produces a score that reflects real-world capability across every major component.
Comparison reports
Integrated comparison reports show where your system stands against millions of validated test results. Charts, tables, and explanations make it easy to spot strengths, weaknesses, and potential issues.
Local AI benchmarks
Measure local LLM performance on your hardware.
Network quality
Novabench measures network quality together with Wi-Fi signal strength and your system performance - giving you more ways to track down slow Internet and connection issues.
Speed tests
Speed tests show what your connection can actually deliver
Connection diagnostics
Latency, jitter, and packet loss testing surfaces issues with real-time apps like gaming and video calls
Traceroute analysis
Hop-by-hop traceroute analysis shows where in the network path slowdowns occur
DNS benchmarking
DNS benchmarking indicates if better resolvers could improve page load times
Health monitoring
Monitor key system and network performance indicators over time to spot and resolve problems as they appear. Real-time and historical data gives you the full picture of your system's health.
Benchmark results
Free benchmark software to test CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and NPU performance on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Get scores, comparisons, and plain-language analysis with Novabench.
CPU benchmark
The CPU benchmark runs varied computational workloads to produce separate multi-core and single-threaded scores that reflect overall processor capability.
GPU benchmark
The GPU test covers 3D rendering, GPGPU compute, and VRAM throughput using platform-native APIs.
Storage benchmark
The storage test measures both sequential throughput (large file operations) and random I/O (everyday responsiveness).
Benchmarking and network testing
Novabench is a free benchmark and network test suite
System benchmarking
Run a complete benchmark and get a clear picture of your system's performance, with test methodologies designed for modern hardware. Each test produces a score that reflects real-world capability across every major component.
Local AI benchmarking
Measure local LLM performance on your hardware.
Network quality testing
Novabench measures network quality together with Wi-Fi signal strength and your system performance - giving you more ways to track down slow Internet and connection issues.
Connection speed tests
Speed tests show what your connection can actually deliver
Latency testing
Latency, jitter, and packet loss testing surfaces issues with real-time apps like gaming and video calls
System health monitoring
Monitor key system and network performance indicators over time to spot and resolve problems as they appear. Real-time and historical data gives you the full picture of your system's health.
Stress testing
Validate system stability under full load.
Memory benchmark
The memory test measures both how quickly data moves between your CPU and RAM (bandwidth) and how long the processor waits for data at every level of the cache hierarchy (latency).
