PCMark 7
PCMark 7 provides a set of 7 suites for measuring different aspects of PC performance with a high degree of accuracy. Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark Suite. The Lightweight Suite measures the capabilities of entry level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the full PCMark suite. Common use performance is measured by the Entertainment, Creativity and Productivity scenario suites. Component performance is measured by the Computation and Storage hardware suites. The Storage suite is ideal for testing SSDs and external hard drives in addition to the system drive.
As we’ve seen from the other P8Z77 motherboards, when everything is brought together in a system wide benchmark run, they do fall down the ratings with this board sadly sitting at the bottom of the Z77 chart, but as we can see this is pushed back in front when over clocked showing the advantage of unleashing the free extra performance that is hidden within the CPU.
