How do I install Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT)?
Download the free ProjectMods desktop app, then install Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT) for PC Building Simulator in one click.
</>What does Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT) do?
Running 3DMark means sitting through three test videos, and OCCT keeps you waiting for half a minute. Benchmark Blitz lets you skip both. With Instant 3DMark on, the results page appears the moment you press Run. The score is the same one the full run gives, because the game works it out from the parts and settings, not from the videos. With Instant OCCT on, starting the stress test finishes it at once and counts it as run for your job. Job temperature checks are judged the same way as normal. Neither switch puts the PC under load, so an unstable overclock won't crash during the test, and the test won't reveal it either. Jobs still check stability the normal way, so tune carefully or pair it with Golden Sample. Each switch works on its own.
</>What is Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT)?
Benchmark Blitz cuts the waiting out of testing builds in PC Building Simulator. Instant 3DMark shows the results page the moment you press Run, with exactly the score a full run gives, and Instant OCCT finishes the stress test as soon as it starts. Both count for jobs. The instant tests can't spot an unstable overclock, though, so tune carefully or add Golden Sample, which makes every overclock stable.

</>Common questions about Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT)
What does Benchmark Blitz do in PC Building Simulator?
Benchmark Blitz takes the waiting out of two tests in PC Building Simulator: 3DMark and the OCCT stress test. With Instant 3DMark on, pressing Run in 3DMark Advanced Edition skips the three test videos and takes you right to your results page. With Instant OCCT on, starting the stress test finishes it straight away and shows Finished. Both results count for the PC's job, so a job that needs a benchmark or a stress test goes from a long wait to a couple of clicks. Each switch works on its own, and it's a free-tier mod you install with one click in the ProjectMods desktop app.
Does Benchmark Blitz change my 3DMark score in PC Building Simulator?
No. The score Benchmark Blitz shows is identical to the one a full 3DMark run gives in PC Building Simulator. The game works the score out from the parts in the PC and its BIOS settings, not from the three test videos, so skipping the videos changes nothing about the number. That's also why an instant run counts for jobs that ask for a benchmark, exactly like a full run. If you want a higher score, you still earn it the usual way, with better parts and better BIOS settings. Benchmark Blitz only removes the wait between pressing Run and seeing the result.
Can an unstable overclock slip past an instant test in Benchmark Blitz?
Yes, so tune carefully. Benchmark Blitz never puts the PC under load in PC Building Simulator, because Instant 3DMark and Instant OCCT skip the test runs completely. That means an unstable overclock won't crash during the test, but the test also can't reveal it the way a crash in a full run would. Jobs still judge temperature and stability the normal way, so a PC that isn't stable under load won't pass a job's stability check. The easy fix is to pair it with Golden Sample, the ProjectMods mod that makes every overclock stable, or to take your time finding a stable overclock before you trust the result.
Can I use Instant 3DMark without Instant OCCT in Benchmark Blitz?
Yes. Benchmark Blitz has two separate switches, Instant 3DMark and Instant OCCT, and each one works on its own in PC Building Simulator. Turn on only Instant 3DMark if you like watching the stress test but not the benchmark videos, or only Instant OCCT if it's the stress test wait that bugs you. With Instant 3DMark on, the results page appears as soon as you press Run. With Instant OCCT on, the stress test shows Finished the moment you start it and counts as run for that PC's job.
Does an instant 3DMark run in Benchmark Blitz count for jobs that ask for a score?
Yes, as long as your build scores high enough. In PC Building Simulator, an instant run from Benchmark Blitz records the benchmark for that PC exactly like a full run, so it counts for a job's Run 3DMark objective. For a job that asks for a certain 3DMark score, the game checks the score on your results page, and that's the same number a full run would give. So an instant run can't carry a weak build over the line. You still hit the target the usual way, with better parts or a higher overclock. If you swap a part like the CPU, GPU or RAM afterwards, the old run stops counting, so press Run again and the new score appears straight away.

System Requirements
What features does Benchmark Blitz (Instant 3DMark & OCCT) include?
- Skips the three test videos in 3DMark Advanced Edition and shows your results page as soon as you press Run
- Matches a full run's score exactly, since it comes from your parts and BIOS settings, and it counts for benchmark jobs
- Finishes the OCCT stress test the moment you start it, marking it Finished and counting it as run for that PC's job
- Preserves job temperature and stability checks exactly as normal, so the PC still has to pass them
- Puts 3DMark and OCCT on separate switches, so you can speed up one and leave the other alone
Best For
- Career grinders working through benchmark jobs who have seen the three 3DMark test videos more than enough times already
- Overclockers tweaking BIOS settings who want to see how each change moves their 3DMark score without sitting through a full run
- Players wrapping up a job that needs an OCCT run, who would rather tick it off and get to the next customer
- Tinkerers running Golden Sample's Always Stable alongside it, so skipping the long test runs never hides an unstable overclock
