PassMark Rating Defined ?

[arledgsc]

Where is the documentation that defines the Performance Test PassMark rating? Would like to know each test and how they are weighted to achieve total score. Thanks! (Great products. I use PassMark Burn-In and USB tests to help qualify new motherboards for our products).

See "The passmark rating" under "Interpreting the results" in the help file for an rough overview of what we do for the Passmark Rating.

As for the subscores (CPU, G3D etc.), they are weighted so that on an "average" machine each individual test should have equal weight.

We don't document the exact numbers used in the calculations as there is a fair bit of added complexity that has built up over the life of the product and needs to be kept around for legacy purposes.
