PCMark Vantage is a software that you can use to test the capabilities of your computer.

For example, if you are a hardcore gamer or web developer who regularly uses applications which put a strain on the computer, then PCMark Vantage can be of assistance.

In order to access the trial product, you have to submit your email on the developers' website and input the registry code in PCMark Vantage.

Its user interface is very clean and intuitive. Once you have pressed the "Run benchmark" button, the program will perform several suites on your system, which consist of “Memories”, “TV and Movies”, “Gaming”, “Music”, “Communications”, “Productivity” and “HDD”.

In addition, you can view default settings - resolution, anti-aliasing, AA quality, texture filtering, anisotropic level, repeat sets and HDD suite target.

But you can also visualize the results and submit them online for comparison with other computers, or export them to an Excel file.

The program uses a massive amount of system resources while it's running a benchmark (which is to be expected). It doesn't include a help file and the trial version is severely limited. For example, you cannot configure settings or save results.

Furthermore, PCMark Vantage takes a very long time to do a full checkup on your computer, during which you cannot perform any actions on other processes, since the software will automatically cancel the benchmark.

The bottom line is that PCMark Vantage is a very good tool for analyzing your computer's inner workings. We mainly recommend it to experienced users.
