Testing (continued):

Windows 7 Experience:

Windows 7 includes a utility to provide a guideline for system performance. This utility breaks scores down into results similar to what PassMark Performance Test provides, however its scores have a maximum value of 7.9. Below are two of the five benchmarks, all of which look identical to these.

The two graphic tests both received identical scores of 7.8 regardless if the system was overclocked or not.



The CPU test had a little change in scores from a base value of 7.5 to 7.6 when overclocked; whereas the Sabertooth 990FX received 7.7.



The hard disk and memory tests were not featured here, however their scores were similar to the graphic tests as they were identical across all configurations.
