Computer performance directly depends on the components that were used when assembling it. Therefore, even almost the same computers can differ significantly in terms of performance. In this article we will tell about how to find out the performance of the computer.

There are many ways to measure computer performance. The simplest is a Windows performance index. Starting with Windows Vista, Windows operating system evaluates computer performance and sets an estimate or so-called performance index.

In order to learn the performance index of your computer, you must open the control panel and go to the System and Security section -\u003e System.

In the System window you can learn the main characteristics of your computer and the operating system, as well as find out the Windows performance index.

The "System" page shows the general computer performance index. But, in fact, the index is measured for each of the main components of the computer separately. You can see which estimates received the components used in your computer. To do this, click on the "Windows Performance Index" link on the System page.

Other Computer Performance Testing Programs

There are also other programs that can exhibit a variety of computer performance estimates. Consider several such programs.

Super PI.

Super PI is a free program for testing the performance of the central. The program calculates the PI number with the specified accuracy and measures the time that will be needed to perform this task. The faster the computer can cope with the calculation processing, the higher the performance of the computer. The Super PI program works exclusively in one-core mode and allows you to calculate the PI number with an accuracy of 16 thousand characters after a comma to 32 million decimal places.

3DMark is a popular paid program for performance testing. The 3DMark program tests the performance of the central processor and also sets the score in points. The main orientation of this program is to test game computers. In this area, 3DMark has become practically standard.

Futuremark Pcmark.

Futuremark PCMark - a paid program for comprehensive computer testing from the same developer as 3DMark. Unlike 3DMark, which tests only a processor and a video card, this program provides the user with data on all components of the system.

Everest.

Everest is a popular paid program for information about the system. The Everest program includes a variety of diverse tests that allow you to estimate the performance of the computer. In addition, Everest provides the user more than a hundred pages of information about its computer and the operating system.
