Hi Over the last 3 years I have used Passmark Performance Test first on win XP then on windows 7 32 bit and just recently on windows 7 64 bit It has always worked well for me as guide to how my PC is performing giving consistent results. Since installing windows 7 ultimate x64 and Downloading and installing the 64 bit version of performance test i keep getting 3D graphics results that are all over the show I can run the test straight after its self and get a result that is one third different from each other My PC is running great Has anyone else experienced anything similar ? And what is the general opinion on Performance test ? Thanks Steve
Thanks have given it a go but they seem to have a problem with there web site at the moment cant upload my results or post in forum regarding it , will try again tomorow
Something else i have noticed !! my pc is a lenovo core2 duo E6550 with 3 gig of ram When i had 32bit windows xp installed according to PPT i had 384 MB of system allocated memory for Q35 chipset graphics Since installing win7 64 bit according to PPT i only have 256 MB of system allocated memory I have checked in the bios and it says that 384 MB is allocated yet in system info and PPT it only says 256 MB How can i edit this and increase the memory allocated? It seems strange to me that the bios says one thing and PPT says another Any Ideas ?
System info is also showing 256MB its a shame i don't still have my XP image i could have restored and checked that It must be something to do with win7 as my bios is set to max DVMT (384MB)
