About PassMark PerformanceTest 8.0
Fast, easy to use, PC speed testing and benchmarking. PassMark PerformanceTest allows you to objectively benchmark a PC using a variety of different speed tests and compare the results to other computers.
Thirty-two standard benchmark tests are available in five test suites plus there are seven advanced testing windows for custom benchmarking.
- 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

We run PassMark PerformanceTest 8.0 to evaluate four different areas of our system; coming down to the CPU, RAM, 2D Graphics, and 3D Graphics. 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 8.0's memory benchmarking tool is the only test in our setup that takes memory capacity into account, but it did not seem to account for anything above 16GB. Usually, doubling the RAM will increase the score by about one and a half times, but the 64GB and 32GB kits here did not rank higher compared to the 16GB kits for its capacity. Like it was in AIDA64, the Ripjaws V 2x16GB took home the lead in the RAM benchmark. Other than that, most of the results were extremely close to each other, with the EVO X GEX416GB3200C16DC delivering no surprises in the process.
