Complete PC performance testing
PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 is the ultimate benchmark solution for your Windows operating system. Basically it tests all types of PC performance. PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 even includes tests based on popular Adobe and Microsoft applications. This application will help you find the most accurate hardware solution no matter if you look for a long battery life or maximum power. PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 is appropriate for both home and business benchmark tests.
Features
- Home test

- Battery life testing
PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 comes with six tests designed to check your PC performance in every possible aspect – Home, Creative, Work, Storage, Applications and Battery life testing. Each one of them includes different workloads for i.e. web browsing, writing, gaming, photo editing, video chat, video editing, media transcoding, etc. You are even able to test the performance of your SSDs, HDDs and hybrid drives with traces recorded from Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and a popular games selection. PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 is capable of testing your applications as well. Each test includes a different series of actions like opening, editing and saving a project. Last but not least you have access to a battery life testing feature, which tests your battery under real world conditions.
Interface
Its interface is very simple and contains the most necessary stuff only. There is a very clean menu bar on top, which provides you with quick access to Welcome, Benchmark, Results, Log and Help pages. When you click on the second page, you will see the six benchmark tests and when you click on a particular one, detailed information will be revealed in front of you. Thus you can choose the most appropriate one for your needs. Once the testing is finished you can see the results in two different ways. First you can use the Results page to display the results only if you have already purchased the software. Otherwise, you have to use the online report, which will provide you with comprehensive information as well. Page transitions are very smooth. I really like the way in which the background moves when you click on different pages.
Basic Operations
It is a bit strange to talk about app performance, when its job is to test your PC performance. Despite that PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 works very smoothly. Testing takes about half an hour. For instance, it takes 20-45 minutes to finish the Home test. The exact time depends on the hardware configuration of you computer. Once you have finished testing, you are not able to view the results directly from the application. In order to do it, you need to purchase the utility. However it doesn't mean that you cannot see your PC performance results. On the contrary, you are able to view them online.
Conclusion
PCMark 8 Basic Edition 1.2.157 is the ultimate PC performance testing utility. It is developed by the well-known company Futuremark. It really deserves your attention and if I were you I would purchase the full version in order to have access to all features. Finally, it can test your PC in every possible way.
