About
ALLBenchmark Catzilla
ALLBenchmark Catzilla has a chance to set a new global standard for measuring computer performance. Catzilla may be the one of the two most popular benchmarks used by gamers around the world.
Catzilla is distinguished by its impressive animation and recommendation system that allows to chose the best equipment for computer games. After the test, user receives a score and a badge indicating the power of his computer (one from 12 level certificate). This system will be especially useful for users not necessarily familiar with the technical details .
The new program is the brainchild of the creators of the popular ALLPlayer . ALLBenchmark Catzilla was developed in cooperation with Platige Image ( eg graphics in Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 games) responsible for the concept and the www.catzilla.com layout and Plastic studio, which designed graphic and physics engine .
Animation is an explosive mix of style inspired by the Godzilla movies ,Evangelion anime or longcats Internet memes. It is a post-apocalyptic vision of the world tightly embedded in a climate of games.
ALLBenchmark Catzilla tests the performance of netbooks, ultrabooks, laptops and desktop computers running on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10
After the test, which takes just a few minutes, Catzilla provides instant benchmark results, and hardware and software recommendations. With just one click, users can tweak their PC settings for more “oomph.” This includes installing the latest drivers, setting the appropriate amount of cache, increasing free disk space, and changing the color depth and resolution. Catzilla also can recommend the latest hardware, such as graphics cards, that can increase performance.
It's a computer test focused to check your computer graphics capabilities. The test can analyze if your computer is suitable for latest games or watching HD movies in best quality. It can also suggest what hardware modules of your computer should be replaced in order to get best performance.
The benchmark will also check software configuration of your system and will suggest improvements that may cause your computer to work faster and more efficiently.
How to perform tests?
- Turn off all programs, including programs running in the background, web browsers, email client, Skype, etc.
- Do not touch the mouse and keyboard while running the test
- Install all Windows updates and the latest drivers for your graphics card
The installation of the program may take a few minutes and for the proper functioning of the program it is necessary to install DirectX and Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 runtime environment, which are available in the installer.
After installation is complete, you can run the program and start testing.
Initial start-up of the program
There are four tests available:
576p - (1024 x 576) - for testing netbooks and ultrabooks, requires 256 MB of GPU memory.
720p - (1280 x 720) - for testing the low end desktop computers, requires 512 MB of GPU memory
1080p - (1920 x 1080) - for current desktop computers, requires 1024 MB of GPU memory
1440p - (2560 x 1440) - for more demanding computers, requires more than 1024 MB of GPU memory
2160p - (4096 x 2160) - for most demanding high-end computers with 64 bit operating systems, requires more than 1024 MB of GPU memory
and CUSTOM based on your own options and features settings
When you run the test, you get the result in the RESULTS tab.
Sending results to toplist is available only for registered users.
Registration and sending results to toplist
Clicking SUBMIT RESULTS for the first time will redirect you to the registration page. In there, after filling up the required fields (you can also register using a social network account such as Facebook) and activating your account, you can log on to www.catzilla.com to view your profile.
Copy the unique code you can see in your profile, and then paste it to the UPGRADE tab of the program.
After entering the code, you can send the results to your account from the RESULTS tab of the program by clicking SUBMIT RESULTS.
During the test, the pictures are rendered in realtime. It may be interesting, that the physics test, which contains buildings, will behave differently depending on your computer's computational power. On slow machines the buildings will almost stay intact. On powerful ones, the buildings will collapse to the ground.

You can run all the tests from command line, using any profile and parameters.
Test result can be sent to the account, saved to a file, saved to a log in csv or xml format. example:
Catzilla testtype=tiger result=log logtype=logcsv logmode=logfull close=on
Check game
Can I Run It? Test computer for running a game.
Another unique feature is to test the computer to answer the question: "if this game will run on my PC?"
To test your computer for its performance in relation to the game, or so to speak, if your game can run smoothly on your computer, select from the list the game and run the test.
The minimum requirements of the game are compared with your computer components during the test, and in this way you'll get an answer, whether the game will run on your computer.
Games will also be certified with badges just like computer components and computers. It will help you to decide on purchasing a game and enhance your experience of the purchase.
After testing the computer you'll obtain a badge indicating the power of your computer:
and on the site you'll get the info if you can play the game or if you need upgrade your computer:
Certification
After testing the computer one of the four tests:576p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p
(the name comes from the tests resolution, but tests also differ in other parameters like anti-aliasing, post processing or shadow maps) you obtain, as in other programs of this type, not only digital result, but also what is new, a badge indicating the power of computer:
Each badge can have one, two or three stars so we can get total 12 levels of computer power .
Graphic marking is crucial for people who do not know technical nuances, but who want to compare their results with other users.
Badges will eventually systematise PC and games market.
Ultimately, we gonna to introduce a standard, so when you see the sticker on the game box, you don't have to look for the hardware requirements or to know parameters of your PC.
It will be a great help for users, because most of them do not know their computer parameters and where the information can be found.
Seeing on the game box "minimum requirements: GeForce GTX 650" you don't need to know if yourgraphic card e.g. "GeForce GT650M" is sufficient for a smooth running game or it isn't.
With our badges you will know that having computer, for example, with Tiger one star you cannot run the game marked higher badge (e.g. Catzilla), but you can run all the games with a lower badge (e.g. Cat).
The same badges (certificates) we want to introduce working with the manufacturers of computer components and computers.
You will not have to be familiar with graphics cards to choose a good one - just take the graphic marked Catzilla, which for sure is high-performance graphics.
