Asus P5K3 Premium Black Pearl Edition Review
ccokeman - December 13, 2007Testing:
The system tests we will be using are listed below:
- Apophysis 2.2
- PcMark Vantage
- Sisoft Sandra XII
- Sciencemark
- Cinebench 10
- HD Tune
- SpecViewperf 10
- WinRAR 3.71
Let's get started with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:
- Resolution: 2750x2048
- Quality: 500
- Limit Memory use: 512MB
The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.
Lower is Better
WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 10MB, 100MB and 500MB files and test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds.
