Futuremark PCMark 7 1.4.0

Futuremark PCMark 7 is a complete PC benchmarking solution for Windows 7 and Windows 8. It includes 7 tests combining more than 25 targeted workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming.

Specifically designed for the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 7 offers complete Windows PC performance testing for home and business use. This Futuremark software is ideal for testing the performance of SSDs and other storage devices.

The PCMark test is a complete PC benchmark that measures overall system performance during typical desktop usage across a range of activities such as handling images and video, web browsing and gaming. This is the most important test since it returns the official PCMark score for the system.

The PCMark 7 Creativity test contains a collection of workloads to measure the system performance in typical creativity scenarios. Individual workloads include viewing, editing, transcoding and storing photos and videos. At the end of the benchmark your PC is given a Creativity test score.

The Entertainment test measures your PC performance in common entertainment scenarios such as recording, viewing, streaming and transcoding TV shows and movies, importing, organizing and browsing new music and playing games. Some workloads require DirectX 10.

Changes in Futuremark PCMark 7 1.4.0:

Improvements

• Enhanced accuracy in video playback drawn frames measurement.
• In addition to the standard result, PCMark 7 Storage tests now report additional “raw” results where the metric idle values have been excluded from the score calculation.
• New troubleshooting option for hardware acceleration of video transcoding – “Enable hardware accelerated video transcoding” checkbox on the Help tab.
• Improved logging.

Compatibility

• Now fully compatible with Windows 8.
• The Web Browsing test has been completely rewritten to avoid compatibility issues with Windows 8. The previous implementation was based on Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the new one is a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application. The heavy lifting in the test is still done by the WebBrowser2 control. Benchmark scores are affected, in most cases going up by a few percent.
• SystemInfo updated to version 4.15 for Windows 8 compatibility.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issues in video transcoding tests and added transcoding output file validation. These changes affect benchmark scores.
• Fixed a data compressibility bug in the storage workloads. Benchmark scores are affected in configurations that use data compression at the hardware level.
