    Just curious as to what (free) tools people use to test performance effects of hardware changes they make. I know Star Swarm is pretty old now, is it still relevant for this?
    I have used the benchmark tool in AC Content Manager also which is an easy option relevant to the gaming I do.
    I am mainly interested in overall performance (i.e from a RAM or HDD upgrade) rather than GPU-specific numbers or for overclocking
