    EDITOR'S RATING

    Softpedia Editor's Review for PCMark05 Basic

    Measure the performance of your PC

    Written by Elena Opris on January 6th, 2012

    Developed by Futuremark, PCMark05 is a benchmarking tool that you can use to test the abilities of your computer system.

    It especially comes in handy when you regularly overwhelm your computer with high-demanding applications.

    The user interface of the program is simple and intuitive. You can view information on the system, such as operating system, CPU, memory and graphics.

    But you can also view details when it comes to the CPU (e.g. manufacturer, family, architecture, internal clock, type, upgrade, multicore), DirectX (e.g. display devices), DirectShow, DirectSound, memory, storage devices, operating system, monitor and mainboard.

    Once you have run a benchmarking test, you can view and save results which consists of a PCMark, CPU, memory, graphics and HDD score.

    The program uses a low amount of memory when it's in idle state and massive quantities of resources when it's running a benchmark (which can take a very long time).

    Unfortunately, the demo version of PCMark05 is severely limited (e.g. you cannot save results) and there is no help file available (which can be very troubling for inexperienced users). Also, it requires you to separately install third-party components in order to function properly.

    The fact of the matter is that PCMark05 is a very good tool for performing benchmarking tests on your computer and it can be used by beginners and hardcore users alike. We recommend you test this software for yourself.
