What Novabench is

Novabench is a desktop benchmarking application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It measures CPU, GPU, memory, and disk workloads, then provides online result comparison through its comparison database. This gives users a way to review results across several parts of a computer within one application. The Free plan costs nothing and includes the desktop benchmark application, tests for CPU, GPU, memory, and disk, and online result comparison. Benchmark results can be exported as CSV, JSON, or PDF reports. Novabench also supports CLI or automation, which can fit workflows that run benchmarks through command-oriented processes. Its workload coverage spans four areas, while its supported operating systems cover three desktop platforms. The product is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Novabench can serve users who want to assess multiple components, compare results online, save reports in common export formats, or incorporate benchmarks into an automated workflow, all under its listed free plan.
