Futuremark Launches GIGABYTE System Builder, Online PC Performance Based Tool for DIY and PC Gamers
Saratoga, California December 23rd, 2009 - Futuremark® Corporation today announced a free online based tool utilizing its popular 3DMark® PC benchmark scoring system. The GIGABYTE System Builder provides pre-purchase 3DMark® performance-based information on a wide range of GIGABYTE motherboard and VGA products allowing users to decide ahead of time the type of PC or gaming system they would like to build.
Users select from easy-to-use drop down menus for the latest core system components including CPU, motherboard, and video graphics cards. The GIGABYTE System Builder automatically calculates total MSRP costs and 3DMark performance of the users selected hardware build, enabling them to see the cost and performance of their ideal system before purchasing any hardware. Furthermore, the GIGABYTE System Builder provides PC gaming software playability information powered by Futuremarks Game-o-meter technology enabling users to see which games will play best on their proposed hardware build.
