Benchmark
AS SSD Benchmark
The AS SSD Benchmark determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD).*The tool contains six synthetic and three copy-tests.The synthetic tests determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are conducted without using the operating system caches. In Seq test the program measures how long it takes to read a 1 GB file respectively to write. In the 4K test, the read and write performance at randomly selected 4K blocks is determined.
3D Mark – Benchmark
3DMark is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.
