That\u2019s where Puget Bench comes in. Puget Bench is a suite of performance benchmarks developed by Puget Systems, designed to evaluate hardware using the same real-world creative applications professionals rely on every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We built these benchmarks out of necessity. There simply wasn\u2019t a reliable way to test hardware using real creative applications in realistic scenarios. And so, we began the process of turning our knowledge of both computer hardware and creative workloads like video editing, motion graphics, and photography into a series of benchmarks to help guide users into making the most informed workstation purchasing decisions possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/\">Puget Bench for Creators<\/a> suite includes benchmarks for the following applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/premiere-pro\/\">Adobe Premiere Pro<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/after-effects\/\">Adobe After Effects<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/photoshop\/\">Adobe Photoshop<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/labs\/articles\/pugetbench-for-lightroom-classic-1571\/\">Adobe Lightroom Classic<\/a> (currently in beta)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/davinci-resolve\/\">Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mod-img wp-block-image aligncenter\" data-target=\"single-image-modal-44466\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\">\n\t<!-- If image is not empty, print image, else, print from image URL -->\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2024\/12\/PugetBench-for-Premiere-Pro-16_9.png\" alt=\"PugetBench for Premiere Pro 16_9\" ><\/img>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Displays caption if entered -->\n\n<!-- Displays modal upon click of an image -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\/\/Using unique random generated id\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function(){\n\t\tjQuery('[data-target=\"single-image-modal-44466\"]').click(function(){\n            jQuery('#single-image-modal-44466Modal').modal('show');\n\t\t\t});\n        });\n<\/script>\n\n<div class=\"modal fade popup-image\" id=\"single-image-modal-44466Modal\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\"> \n\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-xl\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"modal-title\">Image<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/modal-header -->\n\n            <div class=\"modal-body inner-modal\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2024\/12\/PugetBench-for-Premiere-Pro-16_9.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-center full-res-image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-light btn-lg full-res-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2024\/12\/PugetBench-for-Premiere-Pro-16_9.png\" target=\"_blank\">Open Full Resolution <i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/modal-body -->\n    \t<\/div><!-- \/modal-content -->\n    <\/div><!-- \/modal-dialog -->\n<\/div><!-- \/modal fade --> \n\n\n\n<p>What sets Puget Bench apart is that it runs directly on top of the actual application being tested. Instead of approximating workloads with synthetic methods, we use real projects and real media within the software you use every day. This gives relevant, accurate results and reflects how your system will perform in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach also means Puget Bench automatically accounts for software updates\u2014whether it is new hardware support, performance optimizations, or even regressions due to bugs. Our benchmarks aren\u2019t just useful for performance analysis, they are also powerful troubleshooting tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results from our benchmarks are a core feature in many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/all-articles\/\">hardware articles<\/a> we publish, but are also available for anyone to download and run. They are free for personal use, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/licensing\/\">paid licenses available<\/a> if you plan to use them for commercial purposes or are looking for more advanced features like CLI automation, local logging, and beta access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recent-improvements-to-puget-bench\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recent_Improvements_to_Puget_Bench\"><\/span>Recent Improvements to Puget Bench<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to standard updates to support new versions of the host applications and to fix bugs, we are continually working on improvements and additions to Puget Bench. Over the last year, our major milestones included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Launch of Puget Bench for After Effects 1.0 (April 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After extensive development, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/after-effects\/\">Puget Bench for After Effects<\/a> benchmark launched in the full &#8220;1.0&#8221; state, meaning that it is suitable for public use and that the tests\/scoring should be stable for at least a few years (barring major application changes by Adobe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overhaul of the Puget Bench Public Results Database (April 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our database of results currently has approximately 250,000 entries, and our new result analysis pages make it easier than ever to make use of all that data. This includes the ability to easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/results\/compare\/\">compare different CPUs and GPUs<\/a>, but also adds a quick overview of the top CPUs and GPUs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/premiere-pro\/\">Premiere Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/photoshop\/\">Photoshop<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/davinci-resolve\/\">DaVinci Resolve<\/a>, and other benchmarks. Lastly, new analysis tools give you insights on how your system compares to a modern workstation when you run the benchmark, and how it performs relative to other systems with the same CPU or GPU (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/results\/profile\/59310863-0549-11f0-a84b-bc241170a2bb\/\">example<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Launch of Puget Bench for DaVinci Resolve 1.0 (July 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;1.0&#8221; launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/creators\/davinci-resolve\/\">Puget Bench for DaVinci Resolve<\/a> completely overhauled our tests, adding support for new codecs, tests for AI features, support for MacOS, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the above, we have a number of changes coming in the near future. These include a completely overhauled &#8220;1.0&#8221; version of our Lightroom Classic benchmark and a feature pass to bring a number of quality-of-life improvements to the benchmark utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adoption-by-the-public\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adoption_by_the_Public\"><\/span>Adoption by the Public<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we first allowed <span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">the public to download and run our benchmarks in 2020, adoption has been steadily on the rise. At the<\/span> moment, we average around\u00a0<strong>5,500 new result profiles uploaded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/results\/compare\/\">our database<\/a> every month<\/strong>. Approximately a third of those are gathered from the benchmarking and testing of the workstations we manufacture here at Puget Systems, which are flagged with a special designator since we know that they are not overclocked or thermal throttled. The majority of results, however, come from the public with an incredibly wide range of system configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popularity of each benchmark is closely tied to its length in a &#8220;1.0&#8221; state, with Premiere Pro and Photoshop being the most popular, followed by After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mod-img wp-block-image aligncenter\" data-target=\"single-image-modal-87589\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\">\n\t<!-- If image is not empty, print image, else, print from image URL -->\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2025\/07\/PugetBench-public-uploads-by-benchmark.png\" alt=\"PugetBench public uploads by benchmark\" ><\/img>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Displays caption if entered -->\n\n<!-- Displays modal upon click of an image -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\/\/Using unique random generated id\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function(){\n\t\tjQuery('[data-target=\"single-image-modal-87589\"]').click(function(){\n            jQuery('#single-image-modal-87589Modal').modal('show');\n\t\t\t});\n        });\n<\/script>\n\n<div class=\"modal fade popup-image\" id=\"single-image-modal-87589Modal\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\"> \n\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-xl\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-header\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"modal-title\">Image<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/modal-header -->\n\n            <div class=\"modal-body inner-modal\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2025\/07\/PugetBench-public-uploads-by-benchmark.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-center full-res-image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-light btn-lg full-res-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2025\/07\/PugetBench-public-uploads-by-benchmark.png\" target=\"_blank\">Open Full Resolution <i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/modal-body -->\n    \t<\/div><!-- \/modal-content -->\n    <\/div><!-- \/modal-dialog -->\n<\/div><!-- \/modal fade --> \n\n\n\n<p>As of July 2025, we have access to just shy of 250,000 benchmark profiles that cover over 70,000 different combinations of hardware, software, drivers, and BIOS. This provides a massive wealth of data that we are only scratching the surface of right now, and we plan to do a lot more with it in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-of-puget-bench-by-the-press\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_of_Puget_Bench_by_the_Press\"><\/span>Use of Puget Bench by the Press<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the general public, one of the key demographics for our benchmarks is members of the press, who use them to evaluate the performance of a range of hardware.

In addition to the normal benchmark updates to add ongoing application support, keep an eye out for further improved analysis and search tools for results in our public database. In addition, we are actively working on benchmarks for new applications and workflows, including an overhaul to our Lightroom Classic and Premiere Pro benchmarks, as well as a range of benchmark tests for Unreal Engine to cover game dev, virtual production, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay informed of upcoming changes to Puget Bench, you can sign up for our newsletter
