Software update: PassMark PerformanceTest 7.0 build 1029

PassMark Software, known for BurnInTest and WirelessMon, among others, has released version 7.0 build 1029 of PerformanceTest. 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 build 1026, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 7.0 build 1029:

• Faster startup on some older CPU models.
• Improved support for Ivy-Bridge and Xeon E7 processors.
• Correct identification of Windows 8.

Changes in version 7.0 build 1028:

• Improvement for overclocking detection on some AMD Llano CPUs.
• Added correct identification of Radeon HD 7700 and 7800 series cards.
• Fixed possible crash when populating baseline information list.

Changes in version 7.0 build 1027:

• Further improvements to CPU speed detection for AMD FX and ‘A8/6/4’ series.
• In the system information the display of turbo clock speed was changed from being measured clock speed in Mhz to theoretical max clock speed. Measured clock speed can be less than Max due to thermal issues.
