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.
Unigene Heaven 2.5:
Unigene recently released their Heaven v2.5 benchmark, and it is an entertaining way to analyze the DirectX 11 performance of compatible graphics cards on this operating system. This test is being included in here just to see if the DirectX 11 gaming performance is influenced by either motherboard, or by the our mild overclock. In another repeat, the stock Sabertooth P67 is good, but overclocking it takes it to the next level.
