PassMark PerformanceTest is an integral benchmarking program to our battery of standard performance evaluation software collection here at APH Networks. It takes a somewhat different approach in obtaining results compared to other programs, which is why we like to use it, haha. PassMark Performance Test 7.0's memory benchmarking tool is the only test in our setup that takes memory capacity into account. Generally speaking, doubling the RAM will increase the score by about one and a half times. All other compared memory kits are 8GB other than the Kingston HyperX Predator, which is a 16GB set. The fact that it is taking giant lead is definitely something we have been expecting for this benchmark. The HyperX Predator also won out in 3D Graphics, while the Patriot Intel Extreme Masters took the other two -- leaving the G.Skill TridentX with nothing. To be fair, it lost by only a hair, as you can see in our graphs above.
