Easy PC Benchmarking
For Windows, Linux, macOS and, Android and iOS
- Compare the performance of your PC to similar computers around the world.
- Measure the effect of configuration changes and hardware upgrades.
- Industry standard since 1998.
Is your PC performing at its best?
Compare your results
Compare your PC with over a million computers worldwide through our searchable baseline database as submitted by other PerformanceTest users.
PassMark Rating
After running the test, PerformanceTest provides you with an overall “PassMark Rating” that has been a standard for quantifying PC performance since 1998.
Create your own tests
Use the Advanced Tests to create your own benchmark scenarios. This allows you to pinpoint and quantify the actual performance differences from your hardware upgrades or configuration changes.
Standard Test Suites
CPU tests
Extensive CPU testing supporting hyper-threading and multiple CPUs. Executes complex mathematical calculations involving compression, encryption and physics simulations.
2D graphics tests
This suite tests the ability of your video card to carry out 2D graphics operations for every day applications such as Word Processing, Web browsing and CAD drawing. This includes rendering of simple and complex vectors, Fonts and Text, Windows User Interface components, Image filters, Image Rendering, and Direct 2D.
3D graphics tests
Measure the performance of the 3D graphics hardware installed on your computer. Supports DirectX 9 to DirectX 12 in 4K resolution, DirectCompute and OpenCL.
Disks tests
This suite will exercise the mass storage units (hard disk, solid state drives, optical drives, etc.) connected to your computer. Involves sequential read, sequential write, random seek read+write and IOPS measurements.
Memory tests
This suite exercises the memory (RAM) sub-system of your computer. This includes database operations, cached and uncached reads, write, latency, and threaded read tests.
Over a million computers compared
Using PerformanceTest, you can search and download these baselines, and submit your own benchmark to our site.
Run from USB
You can run PerformanceTest directly from a USB drive. No network connection required. Perfect for IT admins, technicians and computer enthusiasts on the go.
No nonsense Licensing
Flexible, no nonsense licensing. Once purchased, you can move the software between computers as required. No hardware locking. No online activation process. No time based expiry. No annual fees. Multi-user and site licenses also available.
See here for more licensing information.
Advanced testing
Seven advanced configurable tests allow experienced users to create their own test scenarios and conduct in-depth analysis of their hardware’s behavior.
Disk
Test the speed of your disk using different file sizes, block sizes and caching options. Test with multiple threads and measure IOPS. Read more
CPU
Test the cabaility of your CPU by running our advanced individual CPU tests on a specified number of threads. Read more
3D graphics
Test the speed of your 3D video card by selecting from options such as fogging, lighting, alpha blending, wire frame, texturing, resolution, color depth, object rotation and object displacement.
Separate tests for DirectX 9,10,11 & 12. Supports 4K resolution. Read more
Networking
Measure the network speed between any two computers using TCP/IP. The network speed test can be conducted across a company LAN or across the Internet to determine the point to point throughput.
Adjust parameters such as the host name, IP address, port number and block size. Works with dialup modems, ADSL, cable and LANs. Read more
Memory
Measure the read and write speed of your RAM. Parameters include data size (8 bits to 64 bits) and a selection of two test modes. Linear sequential access across various block sizes or non sequential access with a varying step size.
This allows both the effect of RAM caching and the optimizations in the memory controller to be investigated. Read more
Visualized Physics
View a visual representation of what the standard CPU Physics test is doing. You can also tweak the simulation parameters to get different effects. Read more
GPU Compute
Test your Videocard’s compute performance with a series of tests. Both DirectCompute and OpenCL. Read more
