How to Use PassMark Performance Test

Once the PassMark Performance Test launches, you can start running PC benchmarks. On the left side of the software, there are many sections: PassMark, CPU Mark, 2D Mark, 3D Mark, Memory Mark, and Disk Mark. Click the Run button under these sections, you can run tests on them. Running PassMark means running all tests.

Of course, you can also highlight one section, and on the main panel, there will be many sub-tests. These sub-tests include:

• CPU: Integer Math, Floating Point Math, Prime Numbers, Extended Instructions (SSE), Compression, Encryption, Physics, Sorting, CPU Single Thread, and Cross-platform Mark.
• 2D Mark: Simple Vectors, Fonts and Text, Windows Interface, Image Filters, Image Rendering, Direct 2D, PDF Rendering, and Direct 2D – SVG.
• 3D Mark: DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and GPU Compute.
• Memory Mark: Database Operations, Memory Read Cached, Memory Read Uncached, Memory Write, Available RAM, Memory Latency, and Memory Threaded.
• Disk Mark: Disk Sequential Read, Disk Sequential Write, IOPS 32KQD20, and IOPS 4KQD1.

You can run these sub-tests separately. Once all tests are performed at least once, you can get a PassMark Rating score. In addition, each sub-test will also get a score.

How to understand these results? In general, the bigger the number the faster the computer. The overall Passmark Rating is not an average or a sum of the sub-scores. This rating is limited by the weakest component in the system. Double the score, double the performance.
