Download Passmark PerformanceTest 7.0 build 1018

PassMark Software, known for BurnInTest and WirelessMon, among others, released version 7.0 build 1014 of PerformanceTest on Thursday. This program allows a computer running Windows 2000 or later to be subjected to a series of benchmarks. In 28 tests, the six main groups, namely the processor, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, hard disk, memory and CD/DVD drive, are tested as objectively as possible and graphically compared to a number of other systems. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 7.0 build 1018:

• The string sort test had mistakenly been changed to be sorting strings 250 characters long instead of 25 characters. This occurred in build 1015 but went unnoticed until 1017. This change has been reverted. Any string tests run on versions 1015, 1016 or 1017 have degraded results.
• An issue preventing the CPU tests from running on Windows XP 64-bit has been resolved.

Changes in version 7.0 build 1017:

• Minor fix to SMBIOS data collection, can now collect data from a wider range of SMBIOS versions.
• Added detection for failed 2D tests where there was no display to render the test to. This has been seen when running PT via remote desktop and then closing the remote desktop window while the tests are running.
• Fixed crash on Windows 7 with advanced CD test when trying to write CDs. CD Write test is not supported on Vista/Win7.
• Improved CPU information gathering, in particular for AMD CPUs with Turbo Core technology.
• Increased timeout duration on CPU tests. The String Sorting test can be slow to exit and on some lower end systems this
• test would timeout resulting in no score being given.
• Fixed truncation of filename in baseline info window.
