I recently upgraded my computer to a high end one. Now all my games run smoothly, which is well and good. But most of my games don't even come close to stressing this beast. I want a "benchmark" program which, rather than actual percentages and amounts of power uses, is designed to make me feel like
my computer is performing wizardry. It would have multicolored graphs, a little icon of a man running on a treadmill, an illustration of a motherboard as if it were a waterworks with straining pipes to illustrate potential bottlenecks, fan speeds and memory capacities written out in terms of bits used and filled, and so forth. If I were running less demanding games it could find a way to exaggerate.

My machine has 128gb RAM and 32 cores. Play dice. |

24 and 8, but I bet I get better framerates than you. And a better clock speed. RTX 2080 Super, Ryzen 3800x. Go. |

Molest us not with this "pocket calculator" stuff. |
|

16 pairs of 8-core 64-bit Xeon processors, two per 19" rack-mounted motherboard, 32Gb RAM per processor, networked as a hypercube, using Fibre Channel links to peripherals ... and it runs a real OS, not Windoze. |
|
| |
The whole thing put together for less than USD $1000 ... |
|
| |
Very useful for Finite Element Analysis and the like. |
|
| |
Bah, who needs to run fusion simulations in CAD anyway!? <quietly sobs> |

Nice I only have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 I don't play
games. |

The screen of my laptop flickers on and off if I don't adjust the angle just right by propping it against the wall at the back of my desk. Does that count? |

You just answered your own question. |

We find your lack of faith ... disturbing. |

All "pre-owned" Dell PowerEdge kit; Each motherboard/tray was about USD $40 including CPUs & some RAM (usually 8Gb or so) and HDDs (mostly 146Gb dual-port SAS as RAID4, it doesn't really need much disk space but there is an independent 16Tb external RAID). The rack was "free" ... ditto the cabling. Donor machines bought as "scrap" for a pittance gave the rest of the RAM and drives and a mass of useful mechanical spares - fans etc. |
|

OK, so some items were "donated" without the formal knowledge and consent of the alleged theoretical "owners", but hey, "can't take a joke- shouldn't have joined" ... |
|
| |
The downside is the acoustic noise when everything's powered up, plus the heat, and the electricity bill... |

What do you run to cluster every thing? |
|
| |
Software. We could tell you more, but then we'd have to kill you.. |
|
| |
I was hoping you'd tell me that you run some kind of
clustering software for HPC. Welp I fear for my life. |
|
| |
While we're bragging, my computer literally is the
server, as I have only a dumb station VDI box at my
desk. |
