The power of the computer (computer performance) is so important that Windows developers included the performance rating function in the latest versions of the OS. The test results of the system of the system do not reflect the actual features of the computer, use additionally by other means to find out how strong it is.
Test for performance by means of Windows 7, 8 to learn the power of the computer
Monitoring the performance of the computer must be performed periodically to notice the deviations and contact the specialists. Power assessment may be required when upgrading PCs, replacing some of its components more modern.
Open sequentially: "Control Panel" - "System and Safety" - "System". In this place, click on the "Windows Performance Index" row. The next window will open the details that will give you the opportunity to draw conclusions about the overall assessment of the power of the computer. There is a smaller result on the main components of the PC - the basic productivity index, the main thing is that it is greater than 1.
Computer power testing using Windows 8.1, 10
The graphical interface of the computer power test is missing, starting with Windows 8.1. Testing can be performed using PowerShell. This is a very convenient shell of the command interpreter, replacing the "Start" command. In the "Search" string, enter "PowerShell", click "Enter". By clicking on the right mouse button, click on the program name - open the menu, select Run on the administrator. The program window opens, print "WinSat Formal" after the cursor. Expect a result for a few minutes. You must pre-connect the laptop to the power source.
Computer power assessment in test
Check out the performance assessment - enter «Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSAT» in the PowerShell window, press the Enter button. Use the Get-CimInstance displays an estimate of the power of the computer. View it can not run the test, as its result is stored on disk in a file «Formal.Assessment (Recent) .WinSAT.xml».
Maximum performance index, depending on the version of the OS has a value:
- Windows Vista - 5.9.
- Windows 7 - 7.9.
- Windows 8 and above - 9.9.
Evaluation of computer power with Perfomance Test
Perform complex testing for more detailed assessment of your PC's performance is possible by means of special programs - "benchmarkerov".
Full test computer hardware will make benchmark PassMark PerformanceTest. The program offers a set of tests to evaluate the performance of individual components of the computer: processor, graphics, memory, optical drives, and many others. The program is user-friendly interface, a shareware, you can test a computer system without paying for 30 days.
Testing the computer in extreme environments
Find the weakest components of the computer, and then replace them with more productive means to increase its capacity. Check the power of various subsystems of the computer and the whole system is possible by means of the program PassMark BurnInTest. In a small period of time all the hardware of your PC exposed to high loads. Test operation can be stopped at any time if the user only the information collected, and he's worried about his computer.
Before the start of complex computer power test, close all open or start a new application, do not move the mouse - so your results will be accurate. Tests and stress tests are run several times to ensure complete identification of all the problems associated with the loss of PC performance.
