PassMark PerformanceTest 7.0 build 1003

Twenty-eight standard benchmark tests are available in six test suites plus there are seven advanced testing windows for custom benchmarking.

Standard test suites

• CPU tests Mathematical operations, compression, encryption, SSE, 3DNow! instructions and more
• 2D graphics tests Drawing lines, bitmaps, fonts, text, and GUI elements
• 3D graphics tests Simple to complex DirectX 3D graphics and animations
  
• Disk tests Reading, writing and seeking within disk files
• Memory tests Allocating and accessing memory speed and efficiency
• CD / DVD test Test the speed of your CD or DVD drive 

Changes in version 7.0 build 1003:

• Fixed a possible crash in the Medium/Complex 3D test.
• Fixed an error in reporting the transfer speed in the advanced network test.

• Fixed an error when running licensed from USB Drive.

• Fixed crash on some systems when opening "print" menu option.
• Fixed baselines info not displaying when selecting for display from the web download interface.
• Fixed OS lacking 32/64-bit info in baseline search.
• Fixed problem with installing a licensed copy of PT to a USB drive.

• New DirectX 10 3D Test (Requires Windows Vista and a DirectX 10 compatible video card)
• Large improvements to the user interface, including near completely reworked main window.
• Can now view the system information from multiple baselines simultaneously.
• streamlined baseline selection dialogue
• Increased the default size of the main window to go along with the graphical improvements.
• Improved baseline search functionality.
• Removed almost all restrictions in the trial version.
• Increased the amount of system information gathered and displayed.
• Improved copy options for quickly getting system information from PT to the clipboard.
• /p option added to use the application directory instead of the user directory
• Added EXPORTBASELINE script option to export .pt file
• Overhauled most of the 2D test suite. Complex Vector tests and Image filtering tests now included.
• Changed fonts and text test to have text which is more representative of a real document.
• Increased intensity of "Windows Interface" test.
• Increased the resolution at which 2d and 3d graphics tests are run to place more load on the video card.
• Prime numbers test optimised.
• String sorting test intensified to use more memory.
• Image rotation test was moved from the CPU suite and added as part of the image filters in the 2D suite to show what is happening.
• Added CPU Physics simulation test
• Added Visualised Physics Test to advanced test suite. This is a customizable 3D representation of what the new physics CPU test is doing.
• Increased unchached memory test from 4MB to 64MB as many CPU's have 4MB caches now.
• Updated image export functionality.
• Install to USB drive menu function.
• Changed Passmark Rating calculation to limit the effect of a single extremely fast system component.
