Testing – Overall System Testing
We start our overall system testing with PCMark 8. We concentrate on the Home, Work, and Creative benchmarks. Each benchmark is run on the “conventional” setting.
Next we run the older PCMark 7. We run the entire suite giving us a final overall score.
Sandra has an overall system benchmark that runs quite a lot of test and gives your system an overall score. Higher scores are better here.
