Software update: PerformanceTest 9.0 build 1015

PassMark Software, known for BurnInTest and WirelessMon, among others, has released an update for version 9.0 of PerformanceTest. This program allows a computer running Windows XP or higher to be subjected to a series of benchmarks. In 32 tests, the five main groups, namely the processor, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, storage and memory, are tested as objectively as possible and graphically compared to a number of other systems. In addition, there are seven extra tests, in which virtualization and the network can be examined, among other things. Since build 1010, the following changes and improvements have been made:
