PerformanceTest

Description

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.
