Features
Unlimited runs
All PCMark 7 editions, including the free Basic Edition, offer unlimited benchmark runs.
Offline result management
By default, PCMark 7 submits and stores your benchmark results online on the PCMark website. If you have PCMark 7 Advanced Edition you can also save your result files to your hard drive or other local offline location.
Command line automation
This feature, which is only available in the PCMark 7 Professional Edition, allows the benchmark to be configured and automated using scripts running from the command line.
Online features
PCMark 7 is complemented by online services at pcmark.com that offer additional features and tools. Access to these services is free though the features on offer vary depending on the PCMark 7 edition used.
Your own personal account
A personal account allows you to save your results in one place, add and edit descriptions and comments as well as granting access to all the available features and tools.
Browse, search and compare results
One of the most common questions from users after running a benchmark is “Is my score OK?” The PCMark online service lets you browse, search and compare results from millions of other users. In addition, every time you submit a result you will see how your score compares to those from others with similar hardware.
Unlimited results storage
The PCMark 7 online service allows you to store your benchmark results for reference at a later date. PCMark 7 Basic Edition users are limited to storing just one result. When submitting new results you can choose whether to keep or overwrite the previous result. PCMark 7 Advanced and Professional Edition users can store an unlimited number of results online.
Hide results
By default, all results submitted to the PCMark website are visible to others. PCMark 7 Advanced and Professional Edition users have the option to hide individual results from public view if they wish.
Advert-free
We are able to offer the PCMark online services free of charge because they are part-funded by advertising. We aim to ensure that all advertising on our websites is relevant to our users. PCMark 7 Advanced Edition users who have logged in to the online service will not see any advertising on that section of the website. Please note this does not apply to the main pages on Futuremark.com.
Recommended system requirements
Some tests require more powerful hardware. For the complete PCMark experience and the ability to run all tests use a PC that meets or exceeds the recommended system requirements.
OS:
Windows 7 Home Premium or higher
Processor:
1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
Memory:
1 GB for x86 systems or 2GB for x64 systems
Graphics:
DirectX 11 compatible graphics adaptor
Display:
1280x1024 display resolution
Hard drive:
10 GB free space, NTFS file system
Specifically some tests require certain hardware in order to run all workloads:
- Entertainment test requires DirectX 10
- Computation test requires DirectX 11
When running these tests on a system with less than the recommended hardware, some workloads will be skipped. Scores from such systems will be lower than systems that meet the recommended requirements.
