Testing (continued):

Performance Test 7.0:

PassMark offers a suite of tests intended to provide an overview of a system's performance, with results provided for all of the key subsystems. Performance Test 7's complete package was executed, and the results are shown for the overall PassMark rating, as well as the rating for each individual component. The units of measure are "Marks", a relative value PassMark implements, and higher is better for all tests.

A new synthetic benchmark produces similar results. The stock Sabertooth P67 motherboard's CPU Mark numbers are just a bit behind the more generic P67 board, but overclocking it kicks the numbers up a notch.



Memory Mark numbers are where we'd expect them to be with a 1-2-3 finish.



3D Mark numbers are a bit confusing as you wouldn't expect the overclocked performance to drop by that much. Whatever is causing this does not effect the 2D Mark scores.





We can only deduce that the poor overclocked disk read performance hurt the overall Disk Mark score.



Overall Passmark numbers are much lower than we'd normally expect, but the lower read performance has most certainly hurt the Diskmark scores.
