PerformanceTest can save you money by helping you choose a new PC with the
highest performance per dollar, choose new components (based on comparisons with
the online database), get the most from your PC upgrades or give you bragging
rights with your friends in the online community.
Version 6.0 improves on previous versions of PerformanceTest with a new 'game
like' 3D graphics test using DirectX 9 features like vertex shader 2.0 and pixel
shader 2.0 effects, integrated access to an online database of PC benchmarks
where users can contribute and compare their benchmark results, a CD burning
benchmark, a large memory application benchmark and improved reporting making it
easier to compare different system benchmarks.
Other improvements include the updating of the CPU tests for 64bit computing,
increased consistency of the standard disk tests, support for dual core CPUs,
and the updating of the graphical user interface. PerformanceTest can now be
used to benchmark both 32bit and native 64bit application performance.
With a single click PerformanceTest allows you to objectively benchmark a PC
using a variety of different speed tests and then compare the results to other
computers. Twenty-five individual benchmark tests are available in six test
suites, CPU, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, memory, disk & CD. The benchmark
results are presented as easy to read bar charts and up to 20 different systems
can be graphed at the same time. Results can be printed, saved to disk as a new
baseline file, exported as HTML or cut and pasted into another application.
Additional baseline results can be downloaded from the PassMark online database
or be exchanged via e-mail between friends and colleagues. PerformanceTest's
small footprint allows it to be installed and run from a USB key drive, enabling
users to do their own "in store" benchmarking when purchasing a PC.
In addition to benchmarking, PerformanceTest also displays system information
such as CPU speed, cache memory and the installed video hardware for the
computer being tested and all the baseline system results that have been
installed. PerformanceTest can be used to measure the effect of configuration
changes and upgrades, troubleshoot and diagnose performance problems and D.I.Y
benchmarking.
