• CPU test. Novabench executes mathematical and logical operations to measure processing speed. The test includes floating-point and integer calculations, simulating real-world workloads.
• GPU test. Evaluates graphics performance through 3D rendering and shading. Measures FPS (frames per second) in different scenes generated by the software.
• RAM memory test. Analyzes memory read and write speeds. The test measures bandwidth and latency in sequential and random operations.
• Disk test. Examines data transfer speed on storage drives. Includes sequential and random read/write measurements on HDD, SSD, and NVMe.
• Result comparison. The obtained data is compared with similar systems using an online database. This helps identify potential hardware bottlenecks.
• Detailed report. Generates a document with the results of each test, including individual and overall scores. The report can be exported in TXT or CSV format.
• Real-time monitoring. Shows temperatures, clock speeds, and resource usage during tests. Compatible with common hardware sensors.
• Portable mode. No installation required, can be run directly from a USB drive. Does not modify the system registry or leave residual files.
• Cross-platform compatibility. Works on Windows versions from 7 to 11. No additional drivers required for basic testing.
• Test customization. Allows selecting which components to evaluate and adjusting parameters such as duration and intensity. Useful option for specific tests.

Novabench was developed by Novawave, Inc. The project started in 2008 as a hardware diagnostic tool. The initial version was written in C++ with Assembly components for low-level tests. Over the years, features such as online comparison and support for new hardware technologies have been added. The latest stable version includes optimizations for multi-core processors and modern storage drives.
