Software update: PerformanceTest 9.0 build 1021

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 1015, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 9.0 build 1021:

• Fixed the naming of some AMD RX 560 cards when they share the same device ID as the RX 460
• Updated help to a new format to allow opening and display of current topic on Win10 systems

Changes in version 9.0 build 1020:

• Added a 64bit build of the DX12 test executable which will be launched on 64bit systems.

Changes in version 9.0 build 1019:

• Increased font size slightly on “vs loaded baselines” display
• Made some changes to hard drives names so that if SMART data is available then that name is prioritised over the WMI information (the current default source). This should lead to hard drives having more accurate names.
• Fixed a bug preventing Intel multi cpu systems calculating a temperature average
• A few more AMD Vega naming updates

Changes in version 9.0 build 1018:

• Fixed a bug that was preventing the available compute units for video cards being retrieved which meant not being able to correctly name some models (eg Vega56/64)

Changes in version 9.0 build 1017:

• Fixed a bug that was preventing baselines without a 3D score from being uploaded
• Updated system information library with some changes;
  • Added correct naming of AMD RX 580 (vs RX 480)
  • Added correct naming of AMD Vega 56 vs Vega 64

Changes in version 9.0 build 1016:

• Updated system information library with some changes;
  • Added temperature offsets for Ryzen ThreadRipper chipsets
  • Added support for obtaining CPU info for Skylake-X chipset
  • Fixed bug with measuring base/turbo speeds
  • Fixed a bug where temperature average was not calculated for systems with multiple CPUs
