What is the best performance analysis software?

[McSeven]

Is it 3DMark Vantage or PCMark Vantage?

3D Mark Vantage is for benchmarking graphics performance, and requires a DirectX 10 GPU. While PC Mark Vantage benchmarks overall system performance. I believe both use synthetic benchmarks, so in real world performance...

Thanks! I just tried both trials. The trials don't allow for much testing. Do you think they are they worth buying?

Depends on your needs, If you need to know how your system will run under stress, or want to test different components to see how they run on the benchmark, then yes.

If for normal usage, save your money.
