Quick History

Before understanding how BenchmarK3D was born we first have to look in the past. Our story begins in June 2010 when newtipsandtricks.com was created with the sole purpose of helping others find helpful information about computers. We started up with simple tutorials, tips and tricks about software, Windows and computers in general.

After doing that for a couple of months and basically exhausting all ideas, at the beginning of 2011 we started benchmarking games against Windows XP and Windows 7. First game was Call of Duty: Black Ops and was a real success. Getting positive feedback we thought of continuing this “trend”. Few weeks later our visits multiplied so fast our shared host couldn’t cope. Further more our test system was getting very old and we needed to upgrade A.S.A.P. but couldn’t due to lack of funds, we had to add Google Ads on the website. Visitors kept on coming and everything was good. Two months later we upgraded our shared host to a more capable server, which isn’t cheap.

More recently we decided to move from newtipsandtricks.com to a new domain. After days of thinking we chose benchmark3d.com. Now it all comes together, we were going to focus on benchmarking games.

Soon after we moved to benchmark3d.com we were able to upgrade the test system to a high end one, sort of speak. And we are benchmarking games ever since….

It may seem that there’s more of us but actually there’s just one of me hoping that one day I can afford more and better parts only to satisfy our visitors. Until then the saga continues…
