PerformanceTest
-
Version
3.4
PerformanceTest allows you to objectively benchmark a
PC using a variety of different speed tests then
compare the results to other computers. Twenty-three
individual tests are available in six test suites.
(Mathematical, 2D graphics, Hard Disk, Memory access,
MMX instructions and DirectX 3D graphics). In addition
there are 6 summary results plus an overall "PassMark
Rating" result. The benchmark results are presented as
easy to read bar charts so that you don't need to
spend hours studying the number to know the result.
Timing for the tests is done using high resolution
timers, which are accurate to approximately 1
millionth of a second on most PC's. A major advantage
is the built in baseline results that enable computer
systems to be compared. These baseline results can be
used to determine how fast your computer is in
comparison with other computer systems. The shareware
version of PerformanceTest contains the baseline
results from eight different computer systems. After
the software is registered the user can access
PassMark's database of baseline results where many
other benchmark results can be downloaded. The
application includes the following additional
features. Online help, hard copy print outs, baseline
result creation, data export to HTML and GIF,
Calculation of an overall PassMark Rating & the
display of system information.
