Long-form guides on how, why, and when to test your computer. No fluff.
Concrete VRAM requirements for Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen 2.5, Phi-4, Flux.1, HunyuanVideo. Tested tokens/s on 8/12/16/24/48 GB GPUs. The most-asked r/LocalLLaMA question, finally with calibrated numbers.
RTX 4060 / 3060 / 3070 owners — what actually works on 8 GB? Calibrated tokens/s for Qwen 2.5 7B, Llama 3.3 8B, Flux.1-schnell, SDXL, plus what to avoid (and why --lowvram has real costs).
Three contenders for the best AI laptop in 2026. Apple M4 Max wins on battery + 70B capability, RTX 4090 Laptop wins raw speed, AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo) is the new dark horse with 96 GB unified at half Apple's price.
No download needed. Test if your PC can run modern games, local LLMs (Llama, Phi-3), Stable Diffusion XL, and productivity apps — all in your browser. Calibrated against 50+ GPUs.
Calibrated tokens/second benchmarks for 30+ GPUs running Llama 7B Q4. RTX 4090, 5090, 7900 XTX, M3 Max, M3 Ultra, used 3090 — honest tier breakdown.
Why r/hardware, r/pcmasterrace, and r/AMD all banned UserBenchmark. The 2019 scoring change explained, plus 5 actually-honest alternatives including AI-aware 9bench.
Honest measurements of LLM inference in browser vs native. Why WebAssembly + WebGPU is slower, when the browser is fast enough, what changes in 2026-2027.
Will your PC run SDXL? Test in your browser. Calibrated 1024² generation times for 30+ GPUs (RTX 4090, 4070, 3060, M3 Max, RX 7900 XTX) plus 8 GB VRAM workarounds.
Llama 7B, 70B, SDXL, fine-tuning — all benchmarked on M3 Max (64GB unified) vs RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM). Where each wins, where each loses, what to actually buy.
r/hardware and r/pcmasterrace banned UserBenchmark for documented anti-AMD bias. Here's the honest 2026 list of alternatives — what each does well, what they cost.
Browser-based hardware tests in 2026 — how WebGPU, WebAssembly, and Web Workers let you benchmark without installing anything. Step-by-step guide.
Honest comparison of the top 3 PC benchmark tools. When to use Geekbench, when Cinebench, when a free browser-based 9bench is enough.
Giga-floating-point-operations-per-second — what it actually measures, how it relates to gaming/ML/video, and what counts as "fast" in 2026.
Honest answer for gamers, creators, programmers, and office users. What 4/8/16/24-core actually delivers in 2026 workloads.
Web Crypto serialization, V8 vectorization limits, Worker thread pools — the structural reasons your browser benchmark differs from Geekbench.
Everything to know about testing your hardware in 2026: methodologies, tools, accuracy, privacy, and how the browser-based revolution changes the game.
