Subject: [H] Vid card benchmark testing programs?

Hey guys, so I'm finally upgrading my 4+ yr old system: 3.4Ghz P4 with 2GB
RAM and 2 10k RPM SATA WD Raptors.  The vid card is an ATI Radeon X800XT and
I just got an ATI Radeon 4830 for ~$90 from Newegg (the Sapphire one) and am
planning on plugging it into the one PCI x16 slot that the X800 currently
occupies.

 

So what are some readily available tools/programs I can benchmark the system
with so I can compare perf before and after the upgrade?  Also, I want to be
able to compare my results to similar reviews online for the 4830, so I can
get an idea of how much (if any) my CPU is limiting me.

 

I figured worst case if my CPU is really killing me, I OC the 4830s to 4850+
speed (most places are able to do this no problem) and go Crossfire with
another 4830 oc'ed and get damn good graphics perf for under $200!  Thanks!
