In fact, the Radeon RX 5700XT, which coincidentally ranks dismally in UserBenchmark, is around 10% better (according to, again, pretty much every website that isn’t UserBenchmark) than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super (which, coincidentally, is universally condemned by every other website that isn’t UserBenchmark). However, a quick glance at the specs of each GPU –not to mention user reviews in pretty much every other website –will show that Radeon’s GPU is actually 30% faster than NVIDIA. However, consider this: UserBenchmark mentions the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super in their GPU section as faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. UserBenchmark will have us believe that this is not due to any curation on their end, but rather, a reflection of user input. Perhaps one of the most glaring examples of UserBenchmark’s bias is the lack of any AMD products on its website. UserBenchmark: Biased Towards Intel and NVIDIA Of course, SEO is a viable marketing strategy that pretty much any site worth its salt uses, but for many tech experts, UserBenchmark is leveraging SEO to further spread their wholly inaccurate and biased findings which, for many, is dangerous for the average user. This is, of course, despite their claims in their “About” page, a claim widely contested by thousands of users who accuse the website of hating AMD. This is because the UserBenchmark team relies heavily on SEO manipulation of certain keywords to put themselves at the top, whether it’s CPU reviews or GPU performance tests, UserBenchmark tries its best to corner those keywords so that search engine users see their site first. It took the Ryzen 5’s launch –which many users used as a new benchmark of sorts –to figure out the inaccuracies presented in UserBenchmark’s results.īut despite the almost-universal condemnation of UserBenchmark, a quick Google search of anything related to PC benchmark tests will almost-always yield the site as a top result. One of the most glaring inaccuracies in UserBenchmark’s system is its favoring of single-core and quad-core processors, with octa-core processors being given negative assessments despite the fact that the latter objectively pumps out more power and speed. What was once one of the most treasured tech developments to go public is now universally condemned and looked down upon by the tech community. UserBenchmark has become one of the most controversial websites over the past couple of years after hundreds –if not thousands –of tech experts found various inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and biases in their system. There’s just one problem: UserBenchmark is wildly inaccurate. ![]() ![]() For many casual PC users (especially those who fancy themselves tech gurus), UserBenchmark has been crucial in helping them figure out whether or not their rig can handle a certain amount of work, and for good reason: UserBenchmark is very easy-to-use, little-to-no-training required, and displays the information it gathers from your PC (a standalone system that is one-time usage with no installation required) in an organized and easy-to-understand fashion.
